[VIDEO] The Corvette Mechanic Paul Koerner on the C8’s Wiring Harness and Torque Wrenches
Thanks to those of you commenting on the C8 engine swap project currently being performed by the Corvette Mechanic Paul Koerner at Key Chevrolet in Middletown, CT. Paul has been performing the engine swap after the original engine literally blew multiple holes through the engine block so the Sebring Orange Corvette has earned a new engine thanks to GM’s warranty.
Paul reached out to us the other day to thank us for sharing his videos. As these big service jobs aren’t seen in this kind of detail all that often, we are learning so much about what is involved. We thanked him as well for sharing the wealth of knowledge and experience that Paul has become known for from his various seminars at the major Corvette shows.
