    Rebuilt motor, oil from spark plug hole..

    Hear you loud and clear on tearing the motor back down. I’ve learned a huge lesson here, never again dude. He lives in a junkyard and his only occupation is motors, so the fact that this motor is this ****** is pathetic. Stay tuned, I’ll be doing a rebuild on this 350, thanks for everything guys

    My dad uses the exact same phrase Hipster. Erik, Caman, pressureangle, thanks big time here guys. I’d take him to court just to make sure he doesn’t **** someone else. I am on board to pull this motor and break it all down, this truck literally just needs a motor. New everything else, trans...

    So I’m going to confront this guy today, he’s dodging my calls. If I do decide to crack this open myself, would you guys start from scratch? New gasket kit, measure all the pistons for .30 over, piston rings, torque values, etc?

    Rebuilt motor, oil from spark plug hole..

    That’s why I brought the cops there when I went to pick it up, to make sure that didn’t happen. Guy is a goblin. Ron Nesbitt in Cascade, Idaho. He claims to have a warranty on his stuff, then when I went to his house to get that last freeze plug (that he forgot) he said “loose my number” . If he...

    Rebuilt motor, oil from spark plug hole..

    I had cheap oil in there before, tried priming with that but forgot about my oil cooler lines and most all of that cheap oil ended up on the floor. I drained the cheap stuff and added true break in oil. Primed at the distributor, All the oil that came out of cylinder 1 was the cheap stuff, so my...

    AC clutch cycling on low fan setting.

    I was told to absolutley steer clear from stop leak at all costs because it gums up your condenser, if it worked for you though then hell yes. I dropped little over a grand on my system, saving good money there

    305 to 350 Swap 96 K1500

    Update, I called them, if you want to do this it has to be registered as an off road vehicle only. I wonder how detrimental this check engine code would be, thankfully I live in a county without emissions..

    AC clutch cycling on low fan setting.

    Hey Tonys87, happy you changed everything out versus just the compressor. I redid my AC system like you did last August, had similar short cycling with the compressor. I am not an expert on it, so I called the experts and they told me how much refrigerant my truck needed, I’ll try and see if I...

    305 to 350 Swap 96 K1500

    Hey L31, the shop I was planning to use for my computer is called Black Bear Performance here in Idaho. Do you think they can modify the computer the single cat system, or would they just delete them? I wish I had more specs to give them, the invoice I got for this motor was trash. Thanks in...
