    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

    Really appreciate the offer here man, means a lot! I have another car to use in the meantime, so thankfully I can afford to not have my truck for a little while longer and fix this thing. Thanks a ton though dude

    Rebuilt motor, oil from spark plug hole..

    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...

    Rebuilt motor, oil from spark plug hole..

    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..

    Also** cylinder 7 spark plug hole is stripped and my spark plug is spinning. On top of this motor missing the cam plug, the plug above the cam plug, and my oil plug. $3300 this guy got me for.

    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...

    For those of you that have been following this and helping me out, I primed the motor today and had oil come out of cylinder 1.

    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...

    PSA for camshaft expansion plugs+ flex plate!

    Thanks man really appreciate the reply, I was seeing if there was a way to prime it without hooking it up to my radiator (honestly probably just some tubing and hose clamps would have worked) but I ended up hooking everything back up anyways. Kind of at a standstill, little spooked out with my...

    305 to 350 Swap 96 K1500

    I am a awakening an old thread here, just want to clearly verify what components need to be changed in this swap. I know I need a new ECM, but will the spider injectors for sure work for the 350?

    PSA for camshaft expansion plugs+ flex plate!

    I have the spider injectors off the 305, I did not buy new injectors for this, thanks man. Black bear performance in Couer de Alene, that’s who I’m planning on getting my computer from

    PSA for camshaft expansion plugs+ flex plate!

    Schurkey thanks for the response man. I can’t see a possible negative to priming a motor, I just dropped way too much money on this and I don’t think there’s a down side to caution. This dude forgot three plugs in this, mind you. As far as ignition, this is a 305 computer, with a swap to a...

    PSA for camshaft expansion plugs+ flex plate!

    That is a 10/10 article man. How would you manage your oil cooler lines during oil priming? The plan was to prime it before dropping it in, but I took advantage of having a hand at the shop and dropped the motor back in, way easier with two guys. So now I will prime with the motor back in the...

    PSA for camshaft expansion plugs+ flex plate!

    THANK YOU for your input here guys, I really appreciate it. I went to his house and got the plug from him, just pressed it in with a little gasket maker to be safe. Have any of you guys oil primed a motor when it’s pulled out? I’m not sure what to do with the lines by the oil filter, I could...

    PSA for camshaft expansion plugs+ flex plate!

    I know, I don’t feel super great about it either after this haha. I’m not sure what plug you’re talking about here, like a plug under the rear main seal?

    PSA for camshaft expansion plugs+ flex plate!

    I would have been better off building this myself man. Or buying a rebuild from NAPA. Was a nightmare to be honest, $3300 later too ($700 of that was to tear it down from a completed bow tie head motor to vortec though)
