My Corvette Needs an Engine, but I Got New Wheels!

- We compression tested the new grand sport corvette giveaway car only to find lots of oil on the spark plugs... We have some big decisions to make! New signature wheels and Kumho tires look great though!

Should we buy a built 427 for the Corvette? 😳
Call john doc he was trying to sell some combos off
Yea and keep it N/A
yes
Yes
Nah, ZZ572/720R.
I would recommend a Texas Speed 427 N/A for an engine. They’re nuts.
I agree. I have one in my C7 Z06. The Chop is heavenly.
I agree 100%
Absolutely
And I’ll personally balance the rotating assembly and assemble rods and pistons for him 🤝🏼
Please do a 427!!🇺🇸
I would do the Texas speed 427 cause without the leak down test there might be issues with the rings cause the wet cylinders could give a false reading
VERY great points here!!!
I can’t believe I got a reply. I’ve been watching you since the old man in the hellcat. Love your videos.
I loved Gavin’s energy this video, bro had me stoked like as if I was there 😭😭
Valve seals. New heads will fix it. Perfect heads/cam excuse. But the new engine makes this give away juicy AF
I'd play it safe and just get the tsp motor. Without a leak down test you truly don't know
The wrap is going to be a hot electric blue (think Grabber Blue / Cornflower Blue for example). Very few colors can pull off white wheels for a contrast. The aforementioned is amongst the strongest pairing.
🚦Damn brother when it rains it pours but hey on the upside MO POWAH baby ….Murica 🇺🇸
427 POWAH 😂😂😂
427 inbound I guess 😂😅 Pray for my wallet!
@@itsjusta6officialhellyeah lite the sage for your wallet 😂😂😂😂😂
Built 427 for the win 🏆
Those wheels are going to look GNARLY on the Vette! I hope you’re ready to drop a few bags on it because I got a feeling people want to see a Texas Speed 427 in this thing. It’s going to be wild for sure 👀🔥
Gavin: "it cant get any worse right?"
Poe: *Vietnam flashbacks*
🤣
That wrap definitely looks like a light color, possibly even white with the white wheels
Love it can’t wait to see the finished product
To the person who's youtube channel hasn't taken off yet,, DONT GIVE UP! Your time will come! ( including myself) As always great video Gav! Hopeful to come to Atlanta from Alabama and make a video with you someday! #DontLoseSight
I appreciate that bro & you’re absolutely right!!! Don’t lose sight and keep pushing! Hope to meet up someday too man!
Remember you have oil in those cylinders with the oily spark plugs that could be giving you a false reading too.
Very true!!
You can not go wrong with a Texas Speed 👍
A compression test won't tell you anything about your oil rings on the pistons. Also a wet hole should read higher than the others if the rings are good. A wet compression test is to do just that to confirm the rings are the reason for lower compression numbers on a bad hole. Your 20 psi difference already and your low on the wet holes. I'd definitely pull the heads and inspect everything really well. Also I learned the hard way being tricked on a wet hole when doing a compression test.
Texas speed engine!!, and a red wrap on the white wheels would be insane! Or tiffany blue would be sick too!
tiffany blue isn’t menacing enough for the car i feel like, but i agree red would be cool
Man the work you're doing on my future corvette looks fantastic 👌
keep up the good vids man 🔥🔥
Thank you!! I appreciate you for watching 🙌🏽😁
Curious what wrap color you are going with as yellow has always been a favorite of mine on the C6. Always loved C6s
You know it’s a good day when Gavin uploads
I would just do the top end work and a tune. Don’t wrap it - it all ready looks good # yellow car appreciation.
Gavin just went part donut media 😂
Glad to hear and see the motor just needs some new gaskets. Can't wait to see which direction you go on this car
As a yellow C6 owner love seeing Vettes get some love too!
Man I need this 😭 missing the every other day uploads
I'm so glad everyone is going back to shinny wheels!!!!
There’s not a single bone in my body that would have told me to buy that clapped out vette 😂😂
He didn’t even test drive it lmao
We had big plans from the start! 😁
just got my hoodie before xmas and it is so comfortable and warm and a fire designs
my c6 has the same smoking issue. tore it apart hoping it burnt rings but cyl 7 wall was fucked near TDC. Had about 3 ripples all the way around the top of the cylinder
Love the energy betwen you and poe :)
I would also do a leak down test too
I’d be doing a leak down for sure, all the oil in there can be messing with the compression test readings.
I’m gonna recommend something for the ls, replace the rockers and trunnions with some quality ones, factory ones fail causing severe engine failure , wouldn’t be a bad idea to replace pushrods as well
The Texas speed 427 would the quickest route and have the car setup for the future. Then, the transmission and rear end and driveshaft will be the weak links
A Texas Speed LS7 + turbo would definitely be mint for this Vette 👌🏼
100% seats or valve guides.. Keep the bottom end, new cam and heads, headers, exhaust, clutch, new t56magnum, new torque tube and bearings.. then do your thing!!!!
Those wheels look so damn good, if I had to guess maybe a white on white build? Maybe?
I nice pearl white or electric blue (like Grabber) would be the only two to pull off those wheels imo.
I was thinking like a Gloss Ice white or some kind chrome white Bc he said the color was so bright that it was reflecting off of the box .🤔
LME from Houston are pretty good too but TSP is one of the best
Am ready to see the end results! 🏎
Texas speed stroker. The way to go. Poe was great seeing you yesterday.
Machine shop! I’d love to see the process
Do the TSP 427. compression is great but even if its not just the valve seals, piston rings, warped heads or worse could be in there. I have a feeling this wrap is a bright seafoam green, teal or sky blue.
Been waiting on this one. I have an LS3 Vette so I’m glued to this lol
Built 427💯💯💯would be sick can’t wait to see the finish!
Texas speed option for sure 💯💯
Texas speed NA motor. Not enough badass NA vettes out there. Everyone just wants a boosted car. Its a giveaway. Go with a solid setup NA anyone can drive on pump gas.
Very good point!!
Texas speed motor without built bottom end. Keep the compression ratio in the middle to low end of the spectrum so that way the winner/new owner can boost it if they wanted without getting the bottom end completely rebalanced with new pistons, and they don’t have to worry about cooking a cylinder.
A midnight purple wrap w/ those wheels would be sexy
Those wheels won't be hard to keep clean at all, lol.
Nahhhh super easy 😂
Bro.... you already know.... Texas Speed engine FTW!!!!
The hair looks fresh dude🔥 not alot of people can pull that style off but u got it
I appreciate that! 😂
That borescope has crazy quality!
It’s not too bad for an Amazon find!
that compression is a whole lot better than my mustang lol 2 cylinders read 60 psi when the others read around 140
Legendary video. Woooooooooo!
DO A REBUILD SERIES ON IT PLS
Matte black or grey wrap to match those rims would be insane
I would definitely take it to late model racing for a tune up etc
I think the wrap will blend that yellow with a pearl white and some black all to match the wheels.
another vote for a built texas speed motor, i think a crazy na build would be awesome on this thing
427!! (Side note those wheels will be hell to clean)
Nice wheels! White though?
If this becomes afficle with the cam you need a good flowing exsost because you are pushing all that are like any restrictions on the exsost system will rob horsepower
id recommend just keeping the stock motor b/c any type of upgraded motor like a texas speed one who ever wins it will probably just pull the motor and sell it for extra $$$$ and find a stock ls1/3/7 motor to put back provided they even keep the car after
It'd be a lot easier and less work selling the car as is than that lol. Assuming there's no clauses that forbid selling for x amount of time (some giveaways have these).
I’d do tsp just bc the driver side bank was reading significantly lower than the passenger side and the oil could definitely deceive you with a compression test
Bro those wheels sickkkk
Yep! 427 NA easy 650whp in a 3100lb car is nuts
I love the edits!
Texas speed motor for sure, it’s gotta be either like blue or lime green
Man I called that
The yellow on white is pretty dope
Forget the giveaway
I’ll get itsjusta6 tattooed on my head for that vette 😂
I'm gonna guess that the wrap color is white with a blue hypershift. either that a really bright lime green or electric yellow/green.
That would be sick or ls3 twin turbos or pro charger build would be cool 😎
Texas Speed engine for sure, but I think a solid roller set up would be more insane…
OPTION #2. Would be an amazing reliable-ish giveaway car!
Fast mani headers heads cam ported OEM TB
I say a pearlescent white on the wrap shit would be Dope
IN CAPS YOU NEED A CATCH CAN ON BOTH SIDES DONT BE CHEAP it would also solve the current issue but heads cam is great move along
Could also be bad pcv system and the intake could have oil ingestion. But if you want to be different then go with the TSP 454. The car would be a drift machine.
Do a running compression test to see if the valve seats are good
Damn! Those wheels look absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait to see the things you’re gonna do to this beauty.
A Texas Speed engine & you should wrap it in the Omega Blue 👀
NA setup, and color is purple 😀
Slap a big cam in there tryna have one when I win 😍😊
The bulilt 427 heeds cam will sound like freedom
Epic itsjusta6 moment
Yes option number 2
It’s a giveaway car legality reasons do a Texas speed or the gm performance 525 for the bottom end then the heads and cam kit then you have brand new heads and a mediocre cam for the current engine good for a drift car maybe see what kind of turbo system y’all can fab on a particular blue new edge
Dry vs wet compression test... adding oil to a cylinder will bump up compression if there is a ring problem
I have a deep feeling that the wrap is like semigloss/matte magenta
Option 1 I’ll like to see it get built step by steps no?
Please banana wrap it and call it puddin 😂😂😂 this vet is going to look sweet though I’m sure
Watch it be like the green on your tool box
Nice
Greenish teal chrome
Throw a seamless widebody Kit on it 🔥
A Texaspeed N/A engine would be awesome for this car.
Man that car is looking like a beauty it’s a dream car
Option 1!!! Keep its soul in it
Do not add boost
Heads
Cam
Headers
That’s all it needs
Stroker would be awesome
^^^^ 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Gotta be a metallic pink or blue a ski box on top would just do it
