not sure if that link works but just go to the 2g section

 

damn sounds like a nightmare. rofl @ getting sprayed in the face with gas. the thought of it just sounds funny like if i were to see it. not so funny if ur the person getting nailed in the face with it though :/

 

LOL, that fuel spray sucked big time. Winston has a brand new aftermarket fuel pump and the pressure on it's no joke. We disconnected the negative battery terminal and attached the fuel rail tool. I proceeded to bleed it down and oh no, it decompressed violently and spray fuel for about 10ft in all directions, lol.

 

lol god damn

 

well guys turns out i probably have a wapred block. i lost lik3 5qts of oil in 2 miles. added 1qt and watched it drip out.

 

So, is all lost?

 

i dunno, im fed up with it right now. i cant let my emotions sway my decision right now.

 

Winston, my heart sank when you called man. Only thing that can repair a warped block surface is a machine shop. Your other option would be to start looking at the salvage yards for a 4.7L replacement motor.
