FYI: Typo under the Maintenance section: "PVC" should be "PCV."

DIY: Replacing the Valve Lifters on your L99

Seems to be a weird attachment link instead of an actual forum link.

Reuploaded it. Sorry it took me so long.

I think it's for the manual trans cars with LSD. Not sure how different the V6 A6 procedure would be, other than the fact you don't need to add friction modifier to them. The fill/drain bolt locations may be different for the V6 A6, too, not sure.

Corrected the typo - thank you much

No worries. The most valuable thing for me in that pdf is the link to gm's tech website. I always forget to bookmark it.

:popcorn: which link is this?

Here's another describing a LFX/V6 CAI intake/washer bottle relocate/scoop install with instructions for a custom washer bottle bracket, AND MRT V2 install: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=302280

Also, the CAI DIY could be used as a DIY for front bumper removal.

It's a little bit confusing to navigate, but there is a lot of good info in there. I always swipe it off of the footer in that pdf. I bookmarked it this time :).

I'm not sure if I missed this but, does anyone have a link for replacing the onstar antenna? Mine just went bad and my warranty just went out. One day past of course.

Yes I have one, hold on - can't believe I haven't put that in here yet.

Sorry for the random chime in. But that guy who did the DIY never mentioned that you don't actually have to remove the caliper because the pads slide right out after you remove the pins and 'spring'

Just so you all know...
Good thread though...

Very true - changing the pads on our cars is stupid easy thank goodness.

Nope that was my bad, I missed it. Just added them - and he did a great job writing those DIY's up too.

911medic 07-05-2013 09:18 AM

Yes, they're good.

Thanks for creating/maintaining this thread!

thahemp 07-29-2013 07:22 PM

I'll make one for heads/lifters when i finally get around to my cam install. I made one a long time ago for the midpipe swap, but i lost motivation because no one was managing this section. You keeping on top of it has me inspired to contribute more.

911medic 08-01-2013 12:45 PM

Stig,

You have "How to jack up a new Camaro" listed twice under the Mechanical Maintenance section. Just FYI...
