I should let you all know the homemade spring compressor is NOT my design. That honour goes to Ken Collins. That came with his C6 video.

its all good Pop, as long as you have it huh ........ now you need snap ring pliers :)

All good Gerry.. got those and all the other tools I need. torque wrenches, in. pound and foot pound, feeler gauges ALL the good stuff. That BIG tool box is FULL of stuff. lol Back at her in the morning.

THE box

Me thinks you have a good size garage, Jon :-X22
Is that salt I see on the garage floor???:-X19

Yes it is George. Run off from the truck. It's a PITA. But I deal with it once a week. Wash the floor with fresh water and Dawn dishsoap. Works pretty good.

Yep, that salt will eat the top of a concrete floor, nasty stuff for sure.

only 3 or 4 wks left til spring, bring it on

that shop/garage sure is nice eh George

C6 progress report... NONE !!!! Life is getting in the way again. More funerals and just general every day BS. Gonna lock the doors and disappear foe awhile .

Funerals suck, Jon. I don't think I'll even go to my own.
Bothers me that a lot of people and past students younger than me passing on.

I just had my worst March Break ever, the weather sux plus I got laryngitis, f8ck

agreed George, if you're living longer, you must be doing something right huh

THAT suks Gerry lol . Yeah.. we must be doing something right. Still, it breaks my heart to see young women my daughters age and younger, become widows and young men of 30 having heart attacks. My boy STILL can't find a Dr. he is on a waiting list. Not gonna go into the immigrant thing when you find out THEY get DRs almost as soon as they cross the border in qweebec. Nuff for today. Y'all stay warm, safe ,healthy and play safe

That's spelled 'queer-bec' Pop :

wish I was here,

C6 update... got all the sub assemblies together and ready to install, BUT....I had the valve body apart, cleaned and all the little plugs and springs in order to reassemble with the shift kit and.... WHAM the whole friggin tray on the floor, parts everywhere !!!! Lost all my orientation for the springs and valves. I didn't know wether to laff cry or what. Looked for a exploded view and nothing that makes sense to me. So have feelers out looking for a 1977-1996 COMPLETE,USED, UNMOLESTED, STOCK C6 valve body in my area so I can take that one apart and check to see if I lost any little pieces AND orient myself with the parts. I have a lead in a u-pull it yard. I will give them a call tomorrow. Talk about a sick, frustrating feeling. Just deflated my feel good ego !!!! Will let you guys know later how I made out.

That is a bummer Pop. Good luck at the yard tomorrow.

Yes, what George said, good luck ...........
getting that one back together would be a puzzle for sure
