OK well heres the deal, the timing chain snapped on my 94 LT1. At first I thought the Opti died, so I replaced that. No luck. I ended up finding the timing chain as the culprit. I replaced the timing set then, and the plugs and wires as well as the already new Opti. The car now runs real rough, so either an Opti indexing issue or bent valves. Regardless, I need this car for my DD and dont have time to fix it. Im looking for a mechanic or someone extremely knowledgeable in LT1s who wont charge an arm and a leg and is in the RI area, preferably close to Newport. Please email me at cfpeter@hotmail.com with info, a worst-case quote, and any other pertinent info, thank you!
