Anyone ever done an opti on here before?

I am doing the optispark ok my 94 LT1 Camaro tomorrow with a friend and I was wondering to see if anyone has done it and how hard is it to do it?

Should take a little less than an hour if you know what you're doing. Be careful with the coolant when you take the w/p off and stuff. Not difficult at all.

If your car is stripped down like some of ours, minus the AIR system it can be done in a little over an hour. If its your first time realistically look at a spending a few hrs on the project.

Took me about 2 hrs my first time, but I was putting my CS"R" waterpump in at the same time.

Ditto. Without the AIR pump and a few other things in the way like most of the modded cars,an hour is possible with air tools.

If its your first time and car is pretty much stock, you will spend 2-4 hours. Dont forget new h20 pump gaskets.

yes, first time it took me like 3 horus, second time like 2...now even witht he air pump there it takes me liek 90 minutes. AIR pump is only a couple bolts, but it sorta gets int he way. The real PITA is draining coolant and removing the water pump.
