    Code: Crank pos/camshaft pos correlation

    Got my 98 all put back together and running finally but when it turned over a code popped up for crank pos/camshaft correlation. What does this mean and how do I fix it? It's a 350 Vortec

    Distributor replacement

    So, I might have made a big oops. Putting my motor back together and I have a new distributor but unfortunately taking the old one out I didn't mark anything and I turned the motor with intention of adjusting the valves but was told the distributor has to be in first so you know which stroke...

    Valve adjustments?

    Okay. Thank you. Just concerned. I've had enough broken parts been discovered in this project. Didn't wanna create more.

    Valve adjustments?

    I know doing this bogs down the motor until it corrects for the adjustments. Is it gonna hurt it to do that much then crank it?

    Valve adjustments?

    I recently had to replace both cylinder heads on my 350 Vortec. What are the vale adjustment specs and how is the proper way of doing it. I had to do it once on the passenger side. Which my grandfather did it while the engine was running. Unfortunately I can't do that on the driver side without...

    Misfire …again

    No, it's stock cam. This stuff is scary enough as it is without altering the pins. The thing with doing that though is that the stud is bent over and the hole where that stud is, is cracked. It's history.

    Misfire …again

    Was definitely a rocker issue, the damn factory defect where the studs come out happened again on the opposite side of the last time. Downside is the new studs are too big so I took off a little bit to make it fit but I didn't take off enough and cracked the head putting in the new stud and bent...

    Misfire …again

    The rocker came off the stud and push rod on a different cylinder last time it misfired, I just haven't gotten to that yet on this side. I did check the compression and it has none. The spark plug and spider injection is working fine so I'm looking into the mechanical portions prolly gonna...

    Misfire …again

    My stupid Vortec is misfiring again. Last time it was cylinder 8, after much digging and trial and error I discovered it was because the stud the rocker was sitting on had come out. So simple fix, put in a new one and redo all the settings. This time it's cylinder one, fortunately easier to get...

    Bent Chassis bumper bracket

    bad news, in straightening the bumper it revealed the body is tweaked back as is the entire front part of the frame. Which answers a lot of problems ha.

    Bent Chassis bumper bracket

    I gotcha, I can get a pic to ya tomorrow, ty job of mine has me workin today. I'll try using the block of wood tomorrow. I think the body bolt is bent with it, you might be right with that. think it would bend back with the bracket if i left it in there?

    Bent Chassis bumper bracket

    I'm pulling with a 2 ton come along, yeah it's pullin it up the curb with it in park and the emergency brake on. didnt think heat would be a good idea with all the wires and a body mount mounted to the same thing.

    Bent Chassis bumper bracket

    That was gonna be my next idea. should I run an eye bolt through the holes to get an even pull? or just wrap the chain around it and pull like that?

    Bent Chassis bumper bracket

    If i couldn't get it straightened i was just gonna use the other three mounts for the bumper and not even worry about the bent one. Just trying to straighen up the front of my truck.
