    Sbc 350 lifter tick help

    It would mean the lifter isn't turning when the cam is pushing it up. If it doesn't turn then it rubs on the cam lobes as it's being pushed up and wipes out tge bottom of the lifter and the cam lobe. Adjust your valves correctly before you start getting too worried about things. This might be...

    Lowest drop coil springs for c20/c30?

    That look has nothing to do with spindles,that look is dictated by the position of the upper and lower control arm mounts. Example would be, even a stock height vehicle,use moog problem solver offset mount shafts,set maximum inboard on top control arm, maximum out board on bottom, this is going...

    K case 700R4

    I belive you can hold the 4x4 cover up to the 2x transmission and drill the holes bigger. On two I believe you have to use nuts and bolts. I'm to lazy to go look right now.

    Sbc 350 lifter tick help

    So you didn't follow book procedure? I do them running,or I look up book procedure on what valves to adjust at what rotation of the engine,or I look at rotor position to know which valves to adjust. If you didn't do it following one of those ways there's is no telling where your lifters were on...

    Longer wheel studs

    Read page 140 and check your diamensions against catalog diamensions until you find what you need. How much linger do you need? You very well may be better off to buy spacers as @nvrenuf said. I have done both depending on what I was trying to accomplish...

    Sbc 350 lifter tick help

    Tell us how you were adjusting them. Now A little flat tappet cam knowledge,when the cam lobe comes around and starts to lift the lifter,it doesn't hit dead center and doesn't just pushup on the lifter. As it pushes up since it's pushing off center the lifter spins as it goes up. Since the...

    Sbc 350 lifter tick help

    OK @ohyeahjay has just showed you what I was talking about,that lifter wasn't spinning or at least not spinning freely,that's why I asked about the pushrod spinning with the engine running.If the pushrod is spinning,the lifter is spinning. His lifter is dished,that's what you don't want,you...

    1984 3 speed transmission

    Check and double check what gear oil you put I'm a manual transmission. GL5 is way more common than GL4 but GL5 does not play well with brass synchronizers long-term. 80/90 that's just on part of the equation you need to check the rating as well.

    Rear oil pan seals too long?

    Oil was just an example off the top of my head. Sorry I'm not versed in what you actually buy at Oreilly. Why would you pay more,convienence is one reason,if Oreilly didnt sell oil because they cant compete with walmart everyone would gripe that they didnt have oil. To help your neighbors and...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    You have another problem and the oil pressure switch is masking it. The oil pressure switch is a redundant source of power for the fuel pump,so in case of a failure in the pump relay the pump circuit the op switch takes over so you aren't stranded on the road. The fuel pump relay should be the...

    Sbc 350 lifter tick help

    Using a new lifter on a used cam is not necessarily a deal breaker, lifters used to get warrantied out,without tearing down the engine. Look at the lifter make sure it still has a crown,if it's flat or dished, I don't think you will be okay. With the engine running you can push on the rockers...

    Dual tank install

    This is actually no big deal at all,especially if the tank valve and wiring are still there. The tank has 2 brackets 2 straps a sending unit a fill and vent neck and hose. It's all factory just put it all back in and hook it all back up. You aren't trying to invent the first wheel.You won't even...

    dies at low idle speeds, when put into gear and when stopped.

    I hear what your saying,but obd2 drives me nuts in the wrong hands. Oh,it needs an oxygen sensor. How do you know? Because the scanner says so. No,the scanner has an oxygen sensor code. This could be a bad plug wire,an intake leak an exhaust leak,a cut wire,a bad connection or a number of other...

    dies at low idle speeds, when put into gear and when stopped.

    OBD 1 wasn't in GM trucks until 91( IDK what year you have) prior to that was GM ALDL proprietary. Even after OBD 1 came out it wasn't standardized like OBD2. lots of manufacturers had their own methods and protocol for reading data. Ford used several versions of EEC that was their system VW...

    Can anyone tell me what this is??

    Not on a 1974 c10 would it be acceptable to wire a whole 2nd fuse box to one fuse in the original fuse box. It was the next post after this I was called a booger eater,fire starter,I can't remember it all.

    You are not the only person on here that had an inspector license,nor are you the only one on here that was or is a tech. You and I had a problem before,you talked down your nose at everyone,rewrote part of what I'd already said brushed right past the important pieces. When I pointed it out you...
