    hey rtgordon!

    thanks for the advice. i actually drove my z on a pair of race ramps and checked under to see where the oil leak was coming from. it was coming from the oil drain plug. about 2 months ago i did change the oil and torqued the plug to factory specs, 18lbs. during the two months there were no leaks at all. but just last week i saw a few drops. kinda of odd. since last week it stop leaking. i havent touch the plug. i dont drive the car really, its been stored in the garage. is it possible that probably the rubber gasket on the oil drain plug needed time to seal up to the pan? can heat be a factor for the gasket to expand and fuse to the oil pan. the last oil change was actually my cars first oil change, so i know the plug or gasket in still fairly new. ive been checking every day for about a week now and there has been no oil leaking. again thanks for your advice.

    I am replacing the harmonic balancer on my 99 corvette. Read your great instructions however I have one question on how to line up the new and old balancers to get the same orientation - there is no timing mark for top dead center that I can see like an older engine - I assume you have to line up the holes drilled in the rim of the balancer but want to be sure. There are holes drilled around the rim of the balancer at an even spacing and 6 holes that are all fairly close together in one spot on both the old and new balancer however the 6 holes on the new balancer I got are slightly closer together than they are on the original. I assume that I should line up the center line of the 6 close holes on both balancers to get the same orientation. Can you confirm if that is correct or let me know the correct way if not. By the way, if I do line up the 2 balancers using the 6 holes the 3 spokes in the center do not line up but not sure if that matters.

    thanks
    Gary
