I give up for now to remove my fabric, I'll use some fabric cleaners, and see how it will look...

DesktopDave I think you are right, my original cloth is in good condition and I'll go with some fabric cleaners, but I just want them to be closest to new condition, so that's the reason why I thought about washing...

Thanks dude! the problem you are having is timing related. You need to replace the timing chain guides which go bad around the same time as the tensioner.

Thanks for sugestions, well the old tensioner looked pretty good when we got it out, so obviously it was replaced before.
Next we'll look at the front exhaust area, and then to the timing components.

Today my friend and I replaced chain tensioner because I was hearing strange noise between 3000-4000 rpm.




New chain tensioner didn't solve the problem with strange vibrations/boominess but that didn't keep us from going on a test ride with a photoshoot
Next we are going to look at the exhaust system...

Here are some pics of the engine bay, valve cover and inlet manifold are pretty corroded and I need to do something about that.
Here is also my friends Vette sleeping

I love it! Awesome looking car, where did you get the muffler tip from and do you have any other pictures of it? Makes the car look that much better.

Thanks, it is custom exhaust, ill get more photos in next weeks.
If you would like I can send you pics and exact measures of muffler tip.
