    engine swap

    oh yea, i had to replace the shroud, radiator, and wouldnt you know it when i replace the transmission the mount was in the wrong spot, so i had to drill new mounting holes for the crossmember, then i find out the driveshaft was slightly too long, but it didnt match anything else out there, had...

    No start issue 92 5.7L

    id do a quick sanity check on the timing, pull the plugs, or at least the #1 plug but itll be easier with all of them out, jam your finger in the #1 hole, spin the engine by hand till you feel pressure, then keep going to the 0 timing mark, pull the cap off the distributor and look at which wire...

    engine swap

    oh yea and i almost forgot another one of those little gems i found out after the fact, the hoses coming off my ac compressor, hit the engine... had to replace those too. which took a while because as youll soon find out if youve never done this before, playing auto parts roulette isnt always a...

    engine swap

    never done that kind of swap, i went up not down myself, and it turned into a clusterf*** 350 to 454, unlike me youll probably be able to keep your transmission, but keep in mind what transmission you have, and what years the truck, the chip(or computer if you replace the whole thing) and the...

    Oil fouled, or carbon or what?

    also as mentioned i did a proper compression test, i have a tester it was fine last i checked it and it was acting up long before i did. as far as a coolant test, knowing its got a leak somewhere not sure what pressure testing the coolant system would tell me that i dont already know

    Oil fouled, or carbon or what?

    also, fuel tank(and obviously all gasoline), filter, all lines, and pump, plus entire distributor including cap and rotor and module, and the coil were all replaced about 6 months ago. fuel sender and the regulator were replaced about a year ago. pressure runs 15psi consistently currently was...

    Oil fouled, or carbon or what?

    neither, my question is whats the most likely cause for the plugs looking like that. oil in the cylinders, too much fuel, or is it just normal carbon buildup. the initial issue wasnt plugs, im trying to track down something else, and knowing if theres oil getting in the cylinders or that its...

    Oil fouled, or carbon or what?

    oh yea and one other thing its started doing is stuttering and acting like it wants to die even cold now, and the RPMs have trouble dropping below 800, it starts to drop, act like it wants to start to stall, and ramps back up

    Oil fouled, or carbon or what?

    could be, might not be related to my main issue but im just trying to figure out if it is. because my problem is something to worry about lol

    Oil fouled, or carbon or what?

    the vehicle itself although not very relevant is a 1994 chevy 1500, the engine is a 1992 tbi 454 from a suburban, the plugs i cant remember how old they are i havent driven the truck regularly in years, they are at least a few years old, but might have less than 50 miles on them. i can break...

    Oil fouled, or carbon or what?

    so, my engine hasnt been acting right for a little while now, trying to figure out whats going on and my spark plugs definitely look like theyre fouling just cant tell if its oil fouled or what its not ashy but its definitely a dry crust with a bit of a shine to it, dont know if anybody here can...

    I think my TBI 454's injectors exploded... need injector/regulator recommendations

    youd think it was that easy... wasnt for me apparently lol. i fixed it quickly but yea it was definitely holding at 90psi for a minute there till i released the pressure and fixed the return line issue. but thank you i will look into those things, also need to start with replacing the stupid...

    I think my TBI 454's injectors exploded... need injector/regulator recommendations

    dont necessarily need that much fuel pressure at the moment only slight modifications so far like exhaust and air intake, but my fuel pump went out and my lines were rotted so i replaced the fuel pump and lines, ended up with an "edelbrock" kit, walbro gss342 and an adapter... good quality...

    I think my TBI 454's injectors exploded... need injector/regulator recommendations

    so, ill try my best not to ramble on, but basically i was messing with my truck, which has been running like garbage for a while now, has a 1991-92 gen v tbi 454 in it, not original engine so thats why not 100% on the year, it did however run perfectly fine for years so its not a build issue...
