    1987 tbi stalls under load, idles rough when cold

    Sure wasnt. i had an extra set of tbi heads (albiet high mileage) laying around so i freshed one up and slapped it on. Took it apart, checked for trueness, cleaned it up in the parts washer, lapped the valves and reassembled. Was the cheapest route to a running truck, as im building another...

    1987 tbi stalls under load, idles rough when cold

    All valves in the effected cylinder head were lapped, lash was set with the engine running to a half turn past zero. I believe i did it right, i'll have to double check.

    No it was there, however much more pronounced as it had little to no compression in the one cylinder.

    Stock replacement tbi crate

    Motor is tired in my 87. After looking at getting it rebuilt locally ive decided to go with a crate (cost about the same). Im not so much looking for performance as i am reliability. Too broke for vortec heads and all that right now (maybe later). I dont do any serious wheeling anyway. Just want...

    Looking for a set of ceramic long tube headers for a decent price. I know you get what you pay for. My truck's an 87 350/sm465, 4 inch susp lift with 35's, power steering, no ac.
