Wow, I actually like the look of the Wagner tunable pcv valve, as it takes the guess-work out of the equation. Looks like I'm gonna be saving up for this in the near future. Thanks again for your...

I'm using the L31 96' block with the plastic timing chain. It's crazy because the last time I changed the oil pan gasket I added A LOT of rtv in the corners, and it leaked. This time I went the...

UPDATE! Okay, it looks like it's leaking a little higher up than I thought! It's coming from the upper corner of the oil pan and leaking down. I put black rtv there(as seen in the video), but it...

Yep, the bottom of the timing cover is in good condition. It actually looks like it's leaking from bottom of the oil pan gasket mating surface, as opposed to the top where the gasket meets the...

Fast355 - You've got an aluminum cover on your vortec engine??? I was looking around for a metal cover at the time of building this engine, but I couldn't find one. I never liked the idea of...

Yeah I'm not opposed to trying any of these suggestions, because at this point I'm starting to run out of ideas.

Not to hijack my own thread, but I'm currently dealing with a oil pan leak right...

Wow, that pcv valve looks like it works for the tbi trucks, and then a few of the 1996(and later) trucks as well. I'm so confused, lol. I think I might just buy a few and try them all out

Okay cool. I was questioning how different the pcv valves would be, considering these engines aren't radically different from each other.

Hey guys,

I've got a Vortec TBI build in progress, and I was wondering which PCV valve to use. I have an 1988 GMC sierra that I'm rebuilding, so I bought a new vortec 5.7 long block, and put a...

Hm, I haven't tried double clutching yet, I'll have to try that when I get back into town.

I was actually thinking that it might need time to break in a little, but I wasn't...

For whatever reason, 3-4, and 4-5 seem to be okay...my guess is because the rpms are usually lower by the time I'm going into 4th gear.

When I press in the clutch, the rpms and tach immediately...

I'm running Penzoil Synchromesh at the moment, apparently it's the factory equivalent to the fluid GM used to make. I've tried Royal Purple Synchromax as well, but it's even thinner than the Penzoil...

Just a little background...

I have a TBI truck with a new vortec 350 motor, and rebuilt nv3500 swapped in place of the original 700r4. All is going well for the most part, except I'm having a...

Cool, thanks for the help guys.

Oh okay. So to "program" just means to flash in a bin to the ECM from the computer, and to "read" means to to take the bin already flashed in the ECM and send it to your hard drive?

Hey guys,

First off I'm a noob, so you'll have to bear with me. I just recently purchased the EBL flash system for my truck, got everything wired in, and it's ready to go. I went into tuner pro...
