IROC LB9 305 TPI knocking Camaro Z28

My 86 IROC LB9 with 2 loose rods. About what I expected in a motor with a $200 car.

UPDATE: I just got an 86 L69 for it Sat and the motor checked out OK so it should be in the car soon...check back for videos of the car starting and running once again...

Ouch! I just got a 350 tpi Camaro and the oil pressure gauge doesn't work. This video makes me want to fix that before I burn more rubber! lol Sick deal though! I paid $1,000 for mine. You got to love CL!

@ybafool2 My oil pressure gauge never worked right in my 89. The one in this car worked fine. Maybe you need a new sending unit

looks like somebody needs a new engine

[chevy385]

@jayguy173 You are only about 3 years late. The car had the engine replaced and then it was sold and parted out. Mice destroyed the interior. Rusted from the inside out. Wiring issues, needed carpet and all. Not worth it

your engine is blown

[chevy385]

@nicdaking Not in this video it wasn't. Just a little loose

[chevy385]

It had a bad oil leak and the previous owner ran it low to many times

[erjohnson227]

What was causing it?

[chevy385]

Yes sir. $200. Car was rotting from the inside out though from mice pissing in it and the carpet being soaked with water. Would have made a nice drag car. It was solid, but had wiring issues with the lights and stuff again from mice.

DAM $200 for an IROC with a TPI system...nice
