BB oil pan gasket install using adhesive and guides for bolts video

What do you think about the procedure as well as using a 4 piece gasket as opposed to a 1 piece rubber gasket. I also looked at a vide...

2007 Chevy Silverado LTZ, any feedback?
(Preview)
I'm looking at a used 2007 Chevy Silverado LTZ for a bigger truck, and wondering if anyone has any good/bad knowledge about that year? I think some of you had a truck of this vintage. It does have close to 200K miles, so biggest concern is transmission life and if the LS engine needs a rebuild. It's hard...

I noticed the corvette fans available seem to indicate the the 34.4 pitch was used on AC cars. Maybe some of the other GM A body cars used a higher pitch on their a...
