    Thanks. Was a great find for sure. Just put my first 1,000 miles on her so now she sits at 18 yrs old with 86,000 on the clock. Gave her a Rinseless today too.

    Love the car. Very clean. Northstar motor? Get the heads done with Head-studs. Big ones. Northstar Performance has a great set they sell. Nearly 3x the size with much heavier threads than the stock ones. Not an easy job given the motor needs to drop out completely. That's the main reason these sell so cheap as the repair is a $3-5k job depending on where you go.

    Yup, correct on everything you said. I’ve definitely thought about getting the head bolts studded. From what I’ve gathered everyone pretty much says to wait until the head gasket fails to do it, but I’d almost be willing to get it taken care of before it happens. [I guess I’m weird like that]
    I know someone online who’s had it done by a highly reputable shop for around $2,500 total price, unfortunately they’re in Pennsylvania. Lol.

    IMO $2,500 bucks ain’t bad for what turns into a “bulletproof” engine. Some people spend that on 3-4 months worth of car payments.

    You’re capable of doing this kind of job? Man I’d get a kick out of just watching. Lol.
    It’s funny you mention this, because earlier today I was watching this video.

    YouTube

    I disagree with his statement regarding the head gaskets being subject to failing again in about 5-6yrs... Where the heck did he hear that nonsense? I’ve never heard of a studded Northstar with stripped headbolts or head gasket failure.

    I also don’t think it’s a bad engine design.. IMO mechanics who dread working on Northstars are just lazy or just flat out lousy mechanics. What did you do today non-detailing related?Lol.

    What did you do today non-detailing related?

    How in the heck does anyone manage to do this to the leather seats of a Cadillac? What did you do today non-detailing related?



    And what in the heck part of the car is this?? Oh and they’ve got some nerve asking $2,500 dollars for this heap!



    Seriously, how on earth is this possible?! I don’t think the Devil himself could do this to leather seats if this was his daily driver all summer long without AC!
    I’d pay to see a time lapse of how this occurs. And who lets an actual pig chauffeur their Cadillac?! Lol.



    Where’s my bottle of leather conditioner?
