1. I am installing a CSR Electric Waterpump. Does the drive gear remain for the old pump remain?

2. I am installing 1.6 RR's. My mechanic tells me the stock Valve Covers will not fit, why is this? I've read the stock valve covers should be fine.

I have a 1993 Z28, a little different from the others.
Thank you.

 

Depends on the RRs. My Crowers fit fine. Some you have to massage the metal lips under the valve covers.

 

I have Comp Pro Mag 1.6 Non S/A.

 

you should be fine but if not then just get tall valve covers. i say the mechanic is full of it.

 

Except he's a friend and he isn't making any money off parts I bring in.
I'm wondering if there is something different about the 93's that 1.6RRs won't fit or maybe he feels there isn't enough room b/c it's really tight and not he isn't familiar with LT-1s?

If I get new valve covers, how will I know what will fit the LT-1 and the 1.6RRs?

 

Ok, I've found that I need to snip the webbing that hold the bolt "tubes" (webbing closest to the intake)

Anybody familiar with the CSR water pump question?

 

The drive shaft can stay,or be removed.The intake has to come off to remove it.

 

i thought just the timing cover had to come off

 

^ you are right,my bad...the timing cover has to come off.Do a searh for CSI install...you will find a guide by Ken Lawrence.

 

Will stock timing chain work without the drive shaft in?

 

Check out this thread. There's a link with pics on how to nod the valve covers.http://web.camaross.com/forums/showthread.php?t=377781

 

CSR??

Stock valve covers will work. May need to tweak them a bit, but they will work fine.

 

CSR=CSI, they changed their name a few months ago.

 

In that case, I have had no problems with their pump.
