    New guy w/ MC Z34

    Hey everybody...I'm Mitch. I'm 18 years old and I love my 1995 Monte Carlo Z34. It has the 3.4 DOHC engine with 94k on it. (i already posted a few pictures on the 60V6 garage forum.) It runs great minus the infamous o-ring oil leak, which I plan on reparing sometime soon, but for now, im just going to keep up with the oil until I get the spare cash haha.

    I'm also a member of the site mymonte.com my s/n is mitch_09

    ill probably be asking some questions about these quirky engines, so your help would be awesome thanks

    do a search for the o-ring fix. Shouldn't cost any more than the plenum gasket; and maybe a small piece of heater hose, and the oring. Buy an oil safe oring and just slip it over the plug.

      ummmmm, GTP091, have you ever done the o-ring on a twin cam? The rear head partially covers the oil pump drive, so the only correct way to do it is to remove the rear head.

          I sandwich a Chevy 350 distributor gasket in between some silicone when I do mine. I've had good results with it so far.

                don't you have to rock the engine forward and pull the intake manifold just to get to it?

                a post of a complete walk through of this well known problem would be nice if somebody really knew what they were doing
