1994 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 T-top 5.7l on 2040-cars
Springville, Utah, United States
1994 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. It has 231,513 miles on the body.The engine was rebuilt two years ago,and had only 4,000 miles on the motor before jiffy lube destroyed it.My brother took the car too jiffy lube to have the oil changed. 90 miles later the motor locked with no oil in it.talked to them about it and they denied everything.I paid a chevrolet deal to inspect the cause of the lock up, and they found that when jiffy lubed removed the oil filter they loosened the oil cool bolt which connect directly to the oil filter. Its a crazy setup that gm had but they only had it for 93 and 94 LT1s, Gm put out a service bulletin letting service centers know about over tighten oil filter could cause the oil cooler bolt to comes loose on the next oil change.But I guess jiffy lube is not the dealer and you get what you pay for. Anyway long story short it came loose and the seal popped out. dumping oil until it was all gone.The car in its current state will start but it has a Knock, and its knocking. It can be driven on to a trailer. The car before this ran and drove fine,I had just put 4 new tires on it so it has tons of tread left. The car is complete with the exception that the interior head liner is missing I was in the process of restoring it. but didn't finish because the motor locked up.So the head liner is missing. Other than that its complete. The paint is fading and the clear coat is pealing, the front bumper is cracked an their are a few quarter size dents in the quarter panels. Thats about it. O when I rebuilt the motor I had put a mild Cam in it from Compcam. I was plaining on doing headers and an intake but I never got around to doing it. I was Plaining on rebuilding the Engine again but never got around to doing it. I have the the title and it is clear. If you have any questions just ask an ill be happy to answer them.Thanks

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
