I first assumed it was just the accident damage but a little investigation in the first video discovered much more work needed, it had low compression and pushed coolant out! So, as always, a quick fix project becomes a big one. Story of my life!
In this video I tear the top of the engine off to inspect the heads and gaskets as I assumed they were blown. WELL! I was in for a surprise! I did not expect to find what I did, and its the first time I've ever seen anything like it!
I hope you enjoyed the update! As always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!

For someone that supposed to know cars knows the corvettes whole drive train to back wheels to front wheels needs to drop as one unit including exhaust removing 8-12 body bolts They are a tunnel transmission This makes corvette so interchangeable How did you not know that

My brother and I would watch your videos and message each other when a new one comes out so the other could watch it. He passed away unexpectedly last week and I miss him a lot. Now I get sad when a new video comes out but it is bitter sweet because it reminds me of him. Thank you for helping me remember him! I enjoy all your videos.

You got the dipstick out without no damage . 2 torched heads was the price of that miracle . The GM Gods work in mysterious ways .
-
After 55 years in the auto and truck fields I have never seen a burn like THAT!!!!

with each upload this editing just gets better and better

As someone who has pulled heads from a C4 before, I felt your pain quite intimately when it came time for that exhaust to be removed. Excellent video!
-
Unusual space to burn a head through. Never seen that before. Pistons should have been torched first. Aluminum heads can be welded, but these aren't that hard to find and the aftermarket has better if you went that route.

Dude, I’m genuinely impressed with your ambition. To go from rebuilding a Porsche to a Corvette..... just Awesome.

If you were ever wondering why some things cost sooo much to repair…here’s your answer.

This channel keeps getting more and more entertaining, man. Your content is fantastic. Keep it up. One of my favorite automotive channels these days!
-
That block's deck still might be worth checking with a straight edge on those hot spots. Even so, that's crazy!
-
I just wanted to say thank you. My wife and I've been watching you since you started this channel and we always enjoy it, you're funny you're clean and I get to learn a lot. Especially the vehicles and engines I don't want to buy. Go Ford!!!
-
It boggles my age-addled mind that you can remember where all the nuts and bolts go when you put these cars or engines back together somewhere down the road. Glad you got new heads for this engine, although I am somewhat disappointed that the dipstick gave up with such little fight.
-
Absolutely amazing that the block wasn't damaged.
-

-
I try to watch all of your videos. Not once have I read some one bad mouthing your business. If I need an engine I would not hesitate to buy from you. Carl

After tens of thousands of cars through our shop in almost 40 years, I've never seen something like that on both sides. I'd guess lean running, not bad gas. Maybe a vacuum leak.
-
Man, I was so pumped I I thought this was part two of this c four corvette project! I want to see what ends up happening to this car so bad it is one of my absolute dream cars
-
What makes your videos fun is that you are doing the work. I've seen a ton of C4 videos and the person only explains the process. You're doing the work and talking us thru the process. It looks complex till an expert. Shows us it can be done. I'm grateful for your channel and knowledge. (:

I really like the super-accelerated wrenching and the accompanying sound of that.
