I am rather new as well, welcome. We are fortunate to have such an excellent resource. Be certain to checkout the Regional section as well.

By the way, your IROC is beautiful. Please tell us all about it.

Fel-Pro 1 piece pan gasket is the one I chose for my Camaro. If you opt for valve cover gaskets? Give the Cometics gaskets a try.

Re: New to site

Welcome to the org! Nice looking Iroc, love the color! I recently picked up another '88 5.7 car in the same color as yours (mine has the red Iroc decals & black/red stripe though). Any more details on yours? Know any of the cars history? Any documentation with it?
