i had called on that typhoon before, they told me that it smokes. they told me it was just the valve stem seals but if the engine was just rebuilt 2,000 miles ago why wouldnt they put new ones in? hope everything works out though

well i found a ty right around me and the vin # is 1GDCT18Z4N0811428...if anyone can run a check on it or if anyone knows anything about it i'de appreciate any help.

i want one and i'm still in high school. if i get one and have it for college there is no way i'll have it for a daily driver. we'll see what happens i guess

ick, not the same guy i am thinking of. i think i may have seen that thing one day though, it wasnt fun to look at

i have wanted a sy/ty since i knew what they were which was when i was 12. i'm not going to lie, i dont know a ton about them. i love to read about them and like working on cars. i have a daily driver car casue my s10 was bagged and didnt work half the time. i'm a very caucious driver, no...

there is a guy around here(i live in apple valley) that has a white ty with the carbon fiber euro tail lights or something. i dont remember his name but some other board members might

well i want to purchase a sy/ty and i have for some time now. after reading on this forum though they seem like a lot of trouble. i am only 18 and i dont know a ton about engines or anything and i am wondering what all you guys think about me buying one. any help on what you think i should do...

so i shouldnt even waste my time calling to ask what company did the rebuild and then calling them asking why they didnt upgrade that part? the price is the main reason i got so excited, all the ohter ty's for that price either ahve 150,000 miles on them or are on the other side of the country

good point, i'll keep drilling them with questions till i can make my mind up but what you said makes a lot of sense...maybe it will make my loan i have to take out smaller too if i can save money. confusing though, this seems so perfect other than the smoking problem, good price and all

considering its a dealership and my mom said dealerships prices can be talked down i'll ask if they would considering fixing it without changing the price. it seems sketchy but i dunno, you guys know a lot more than i do

well i just talked to the mechanic at the dealership where they have the ty and he said that all valve stem seals on older model small block GM's were pretty crappy and leaked a little bit so the smoking is no big deal. he said it only does it when it starts and when its ideling... anyone have...
