Pull a valve cover, roll engine over and see if valves are moving up and down. See if your cam is wiped- Shorty81

1985 K5 350 always running rich?
Make sure your PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) is in place and functioning properly. If not you will get vapor inside the cab. My truck runs a tad rich, but I don't notice it inside the cab.- Shorty81

8.1 Vortec VS 383 Stroker VS 6.0 Iron LS
I had a 76 date coded 454 of "unknown origin". It needed some major cylinder clean up. I order a Skip White 496 complete rotating assembly. 750 holley, Wiend dual plane, 781 iron heads. Happy motor, runs great torque monster. Gets 11 mpg in K20, 3:73, SM465, 208.This is my old school 8.1!!- Shorty81

What have you done to your square lately??
A buddy of mine purchased a new 83 S10, he drove it on the original oil for 24,000 miles. That was the blackest tar sh!t oil I have ever seen!!
