Engine Cleaning
Never clean your engine with any cleaner containing an alkaline. This can cause all aluminum items to turn brown. The paint on the valve cover is a clear coated baked-on powder paint. A good cleaner like Simple Green can be purchased at Wal-Mart, K-Mart or auto parts stores. A direct spray of hot or cold water may cause a lot of engine driveability problems as a result of water entering the electrical connectors. Your valve covers on the LT1 and the air plenum and cam covers on the LT5 can get water spots (acid rain). Treat these components as you would the clear coat on the exterior of your car, but don't wax since the heat may cause surface damage. Refer to page 283 of your owner's manual

Checking Automatic Transmission Oil
When checking the oil in the auto transmission, always check the level after the car has been driven and the engine temperature is at the normal operating temperature of 170 degrees. If the level is between the XXX marks, it is OK. If checked cold, the oil level will check low because oil expands when warm. Refer to pages 244 and 247 of your owner's manual.

ABS Pump Noise
When going from a stop to 4 mph in forward or reverse the first time after the car is started, you will hear the ABS pump cycle indicating a self test. The ABS active light will also come on when the pump cycles. This is normal. The ABS pump assembly is behind the driver in the rear storage area. The pump may cycle when you have a hard brake applied. This is also normal. Refer to page 102 of the owner's manual.

Six-Speed Low Gear Noise
The Corvette may have some low gear noise. This is normal due to the design of the teeth on the gears (for durability reasons). Refer to your video.
