    #1 cylinder damage from exhaust valve question

    so.. I’m getting misfires in Cylinder 1 still like before… And I also have a Crankshaft/camshaft correlation Re-learn DTC code… Judging from the 2nd picture, I just need to adjust my timing to 0???? The Spark row, 21-26 is the range it’s bouncing around… I don’t really understand this one

    #1 cylinder damage from exhaust valve question

    Well I would have gone that way, but I have the distributor out, and the lower and upper air intake manifold off, so I have direct visual access to the lifters and such Feels like I’m learning through the “tough luck” method haha

    #1 cylinder damage from exhaust valve question

    Ohh this is awesome, but 1 full additional turn after 0 lash? Dang, that’s a big difference to all the 1/2 and 3/4 turn info I have seen online I wonder what happened there… I did the 3/4 turn when I first adjusted the valves… So TDC Compression if I understand from the Screenshot there.. Is...

    #1 cylinder damage from exhaust valve question

    No, but I think he pulled the valve covers and could have messed with the valves/rockers? I never got clarification on how far he broke it down. But atm I am adjusting the valves (I cleaned everything, checked and triple checked everything, got 2 other people to verify everything looked good)...

    #1 cylinder damage from exhaust valve question

    Ok so it’s been a bit. Been busy as can be at my full time. But I did the test, no alcohol seeped and flowed past the valve. It just pooled. So valve was completely seated and sealed.

    #1 cylinder damage from exhaust valve question

    I thought for sure it would be damaged in some way But nothing, still straight, and still sealing completely on the bottom of the head, I am highly confused tbh by all of this and how nothing worse happened But I will double check and triple check

    1998 c1500 5.7L Vortec So I took my truck to the shop for a fuel issue. It’s just sending a ton of unburnt fuel out of my exhaust. Mechanic said to put a new ECU/ECM. Took my truck home and it died right in front of the house. My exhaust pushrod was bent on Cylinder 1. Replaced the pushrods...

    98 c1500 5.7l Vortec - No spark issue

    So I have had issues with my crankshaft position sensor before, so I replaced it - And then about 6 months later I had to replace it again, because the wiring got destroyed (due to where I drive my truck to get to work, lots of mud buildup and stuff) - so I redid the plug and wires completely...

    98 c1500 5.7l Vortec - No spark issue

    So some history - The old heads cracked. Got new heads. Started up, was rough because I didn’t adjust valves. Took it to a closer place to where I live - Did a final valve adjustment - Sounded great, was running good, just needed to adjust fuel/air mix. I turned truck off, let it set, started...
