I'm Awesome
Hi all,
Ok so full disclosure.... I'm not versed in engine overhaul or much beyond basic tune ups/ brakes/ etc
I have a 1994 k1500 with NV4500.
I decided to replace power steering hoses and pump and all grounds....
While doing so I realized I had what appeared to be intake manifold leak so I decided to try my hand at this and learn something in the process....
Well today I was about to reinstall the intake and decided to look in all the holes just out of curiosity of what I could see.
The included pic shows what I saw upon looking down the distributor hole at the camshaft gear (not sure of correct terminology).
How badly am I screwed?
Can I pull the camshaft out and just replace that gear?
What advice or tips/tricks should I be aware of before attempting this?
Thank you guys in advance for any help you can provide me.
