Re: bad optispark please help

Id check the coil wire that runs from the coil to the opti.... its like a spark plug wire, and on mine it was super corroded... pull a wire off one of the plugs swap it with the one from the opti to the coil and see if it starts..

There is no timing "belt"..... it's a chain and there is supposed to be oil on it. I think he was suggesting (although very hard to decipher) that you should check all the seals on the timing cover to make sure that's not the source of the leak into the Opti.

I'm not sure I would agree either that most all LT1's have an intake leak at the front of the engine. Usually, it's in the back, and many of us have never had an intake manfold oil leak.
