Most likely going to rip it apart and just do a rebuild. Replace parts as needed lol. Unless I'm working for a decent amount of time this time and I can swing some upgrades. Not too sure what I...

No news yet. I just got back to work last month and didn't have a ton of money to do anything with. I plan on tearing it down this winter when I hopefully will have some more time and money.

I believe we did too Chris. We installed forged internals for that reason so I believe we did that also.

I actually didn't mean to type compression test.

My wife's dad offered to help me with the compression test, so I'm going to take it to his house when we both have time and start from there. I'll keep you updated. I really do appreciate all the...

lets just say when I get on it, I can see a cloud of black smoke in my mirrors.

The smoke is black. The intake is an Edelbrock Air Gap btw. Tony said when I'm driving normally it smokes out of the passenger side constantly, but when I get on it a little bit or even just...

Yeah that's what I said I was going to do. I'm not rebuilding it until it gets cold out. I was just throwing around fun ideas for the hell of it. I'm just going to throw in a couple parts while I...

The whole money thing will probably put that on hold for a while, so I'll probably end up just rebuilding the 383 for now.

I was possibly thinking about selling the 383 and putting in a big block lol.

Thanks guys. Shit happens. I'll probably upgrade some parts while I'm in there if money permits.... :p

Yeah, the secondary linkage is binding up. I'm going to file some of it away and it should work fine the way they set it up when they dyno'd it.

I'm just kind of pissed because I need to rebuild...

Yeah it was. The wife was shaken up pretty good lol.

Engine is getting pulled and a rebuild this winter. I'm getting blow-by and burning a crap ton of oil. I'm pushing oil out of my breathers and also popping the top of my dipstick.

I'll most...

$145 for the covers.

New covers paired with the best gaskets I could get. If it leaks now there are big problems.

Oh that reminds me, I was going to say what converter it was.


It's a Precision Industries 2400.

According to my paperwork, timing @ idle is 19 degrees and timing full adv is 35 degres. Brian said the timing is perfect and that I shouldn't touch it. He also said he played around with it and...

Had to stop it at around 5800 due to the oil leaks coming back. Ordering new valve covers today.

I don't know. He didn't say on the voicemail.

It went on today. Apparently my piece of shit valve cover is still leaking and oil is hitting the header like it was so he only took it up to 5800. He left a message on my phone but they were...

meh, someone beat you to it on another board. haha

Don't make me ban you.
