2 Brothers Performance

This is a pretty cool way to make sure that your circuit is good and able to carry load through the wires.

This car had a bad ground for the TCM, so after repairing the ground issue I was able to confirm that the circuit is good to carry a load by using a headlight bulb to load it!

Remember, just because you have voltage on a circuit, that doesn’t mean it’s going to work 🤓

This customer was referred to us by another C5 owner to check out his oil leaks and look into a clutch issue he was having.

After inspecting both, we found that almost every gasket was leaking and that the Exedy twin disc clutch in the car was at the end of its life.

We opted to drop the subframe and pull the whole engine to do the repair; it just made more sense that way! Once we got the assembly dropped out, we went ahead and pressure washed everything to make sure we weren’t putting it back together with dirty parts.

After cleaning and resealing the whole engine, we installed a McLeod Racing twin disc clutch paired with their adjustable release bearing to handle the ~700hp that this thing makes with the help of its Paxton supercharger setup.

Once the engine was reinstalled we replaced the lower radiator support that was damaged from hitting something. This one is back together and ready to go, leak-free!

Spent this last week building and installing the 5.3L L83. Connecting rod bearings packed their bags and caused all kinds of disco party in the rest of the motor. New crank, new rod, refreshed the other 7 rods, honed the block, new rings, and assembly and we are back in the saddle again 😎 40 mile break in on the new motor and absolutely nothing suspicious when the filter was cut open to check. Ready to pick up on Monday and get some break in miles put on her!
