So today a friend and I attacked my Plenum. Also did Cap, Rotor and wires. Spark plugs and O2 sensor to come soon. Although, the one spark plug I took out didn't look bad at all.

Anyway, runs so smooth now that I don't even recognize it. No more knock either. Thought I had a lifter or bearing going out. Well I don't hear it anymore which is great! One more thing, she accelerates like she should! No more hesitation at all! Overall this is definitely money well spent!

Here you can see the gasket pushing out from in between the belly pan and the kegger.


This bolt broke as soon as we even touched it!


Oil pooled up inside the intake.


Lookin' good!


All put back together and burping the cooling system.


If you haven't done this, I highly recommend it!

 

Right on bro, looks like you got everything squared away. Glad to hear it!

 

Good Job. You should have the cat tested in case it started getting clogged, just to eliminate any prob with it later on.

 

I'm sure that bottle of Rum helped with the cuss factor

 

ya thats where my bolt broke when i did my airgap

 

Yeah, that was quite a pain lastrights. Took about an hour and a half to get it out.

I'll definitely check the cat.

 

So you could leave your Distributor installed? What order do you recommend for disassembly? Did you replace your thermostat while you were in there?

 

yes the dis. stays in not like ****y chevys lol. Im in the process of doing mine but cleaning and painting up all the parts upon putting back together. I put a 180 thermostat in. dissassembly is fairly easy just work from front of the motor to the top of the keg should have it off with in 1 1/2

 

you could take the extra 10-15 and pull the fan and fan shoud off and have great place to stand and your back and the back of your legs will thank you

 

I didnt think about that^ I have the e fan set up so it was already open lol but yeah you are very right!


By the way Annihilator nice job on the fix! Thats exactly were my plenum gasket was broke
