    Going to rebuild 5.7 vortec soon

    Hey guys I'm going to rebuild (or build, since it's disassembled) engine soon and I need you for advice about which engine rebuild kit to choose. I checked rockauto and found some similar kits but for different price and different manufacturers. First question, what's difference between sealed...

    Tbi 454 mpg...Is this as good as it gets?

    Lol Guys on Lada are always crazy/drunk/ or immigrants The strange thing about oxygen sensor is that my truck hasn't any harness for this sensor and there aren't any marks/traces on exhaust line where it could be installed, so I believe my truck was some kind of of export version for...

    Tbi 454 mpg...Is this as good as it gets?

    I agree with you on point about pumps. Also, I could count incorrect by the way. Here in Russia we measure fuel consumption as liters/100 kilometers, and you guys I'm America do it as miles/gallon. I'm not very familiar with miles, gallons and another units but I checked out and 1 gal is 3.3...

    Tbi 454 mpg...Is this as good as it gets?

    We have really heavy traffic in Moscow, not synchronized traffic lights, narrow roads, stupid infrastructure, erratic or small parkings, a lot of vehicles (for 15 million population city we have 5-6 millions vehicles.... BUT main problem is that ppl have no driving culture and ethics at all...

    Oil consumption with no blue exhaust ?

    It takes 2 secs to gain max pressure at cold I have 60 psi at cold start and only 20 psi on fully warmed up engine. With 10-40 at hot weather oil pressure became lower in traffic jams. From 20 it turned into 15 With 5-30 it was just 10 Отправлено с моего Redmi Note 3 через Tapatalk

    Oil consumption with no blue exhaust ?

    Hello again Didn't appear here for month or so. The winter came to Russia. It's 0 degrees Celsius here (temp when water freeze). I should say that it's running perfect on mannol 5-50. This oil still leaks good. Some noises disappeared and oil consumption is twice less than before. Engine...

    Oil consumption with no blue exhaust ?

    We have BMWs here running 10-60 whole year without heaters. But you are right, that may cause problems. 5-50 is two times thicker than 5-30 Отправлено с моего Redmi Note 3 через Tapatalk

    Oil consumption with no blue exhaust ?

    I checked another vehicle, it's gmc Yukon with tbi and it's totally dead. So I stay with my truck and probably will replace engine. But I don't know when Отправлено с моего Redmi Note 3 через Tapatalk

    Oil consumption with no blue exhaust ?

    So guys, summarizing all the versions you've told me, I'm making conclusion that my current engine is about to die in nearest future? or can this noises at hot start and oil consumption lasts for many thousands miles (5-10k)? I'm actually thinking about 2 variants to do: - buy one more used...

    Oil consumption with no blue exhaust ?

    Compression test is OK, every cylinder has similar compression without big difference (dispersion between higher and lower value is less than 5%) But I didn't add oil and didn't test it again What's for oil, it's difficult to buy American oil in Russia. We have mobil as the most popular, also...

    Oil consumption with no blue exhaust ?

    I searched the forum and youtube for piston slap, that seems like my situation. Also I think it could explain oil consumption i think, if the piston is a bit damaged there is no guarantee that rings are fine. Also I've been told that this engine was overheated once, so I think rings are dead
