    NO OIL pressure

    Still Trying to figure out my oil pressure problem, New Developments: 1) I pulled the oil filter adapter and the pressure valve seemed sticky so i replaced that. 2) I currently have the oil pan removed to check the pickup. There were some bits of RTV (not mine surely) stuck in the screen but...

    NO OIL pressure

    Reversing the primer seemed to make priming much quicker, but on the even cylinders the only rockers that primed where 2 and 8 exhaust only. I was periodically rotating the crank while priming.

    NO OIL pressure

    Ive heard that works best, but this is my first project and I didnt have one layin around so the cost would be a whole new dizzy. I will try the reverse and let ya'll know how it worked

    NO OIL pressure

    while the tool is priming no oil pressure shows on the dash. The dizzy only fits all the way in if I get the pump drive lined up right so I am assuming it is engaged.

    coolant leak new heads

    The numbers were still visible so i figured it wasnt decked much if it was at all. The gasket i had was a raised plastic/rubber one. I pulled the intake back off. Is there a way to check if my clearances are good for my intake to heads...?

    coolant leak new heads

    The engine isnt quite stock, but its just a daily driver truck. I bought new gaskets and new bolts that have the sealant on them, already have one gasket swapped out, but its 20 degrees here so Im preparing myself to do the other tomorrow. Thanks for the help guys.

    coolant leak new heads

    The head was rebuilt, I used the 1094 but it was just a metal shim gasket, should I have sprayed it with something? I used all the same head bolts, and I chased the threads so I got proper torque. Was I suppose to put something on the threads of the bolts?

    coolant leak new heads

    I had my 350 all back together and the last thing i had to do was fill the coolant before I turned key Well I got to a certain point while filling and coolant starts coming out of somewhere near the back of the engine I feel around and figure out that its between the block and the head...

    Vortec intake not matching 906 heads

    Those all have the two holes im talking about, they are on only one side of the intake and next to the carb ports. Are they just bolt holes I dont need to use?
