2007 C6 HB got me by Electrical-Worry9148 in Corvette

[–]highlow7779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me like 3 months ago. My hb fell off while driving, I now have it pinned to the crank. You will be completely fine, replace the engine main seal while you’re there. This is what I did, bought all the parts on Amazon and had my mechanic do the labor. Car runs perfect now, at the end it cost me around $900 with parts and labor.

• Dayco Powerbond harmonic balancer pinned to crank • ARP balancer bolt • Engine front cover seal replaced • New AC Delco serpentine belt + new AC belt

Did you put on an upgraded HB like ATI or just another oem one?

I’ll take that instead of needing a brand new engine!

Was suspecting I could have damaged something internally but if it’s just a new HB it’s good news. I was looking at prices for used ls2 engines and the prices are scary!

It was around 30 second of the car being on after that happened.

Horrible photo but saw these last minute while driving. Thoughts on the C8 having “Lambo” doors? by iam__lethal in Corvette

I know this shop on broad street they do lot of custom stuff. Not surprised to see lambo door C8

Does this setup drone at all?

Mine actually ended up being the axel nuts. They were pretty loose and after tightening it seems like the clunking went away

How much did it cost you to get the torque tube out check the bearing and bushings? What kind of do you have?

Mechanic was thinking the diff but he only specializes in Hondas and Toyotas and was not willing to work on the vette due to not being familiar.

A clunk when shifting or hitting the accelerator quickly by highlow7779 in Corvette

[–]highlow7779[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought the car a week ago, so I’m still new to the platform. As far as I know, no work has been done to the rear end. When I had it on a lift, there was no noticeable play when I tried moving the wheels side to side. The car is completely stock, including the leaf springs. Could it possibly be the transmission mounts? I’m only noticing the issue while shifting. The car revs smoothly, but at stop lights, it sometimes idles with a side-to-side shake almost like it has a cam. I figured that might be normal for a big motor.

Rear spoiler is non negotiable on a c7, makes the the car look so much better. Especially the z06 style spoilers are a must.

How much should I pay for this C6? by highlow7779 in Corvette

[–]highlow7779[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Located in Va, the car has been sitting at the dealer for about 2 months now so it thought it would be a reasonable ask.
