I think I would have removed that heater hose behind the
alternator… maybe it was a cable to the alternator, or I would end up
lying awake all night worrying if the gaskets were knocked out of place.
on average how much $$$ does a job like this run?? i think i have the same
issue 97 k1500 5.7.
Looks pretty clean under the hood. How long does the silicone need to set
before turning the engine on? Thanks for the video!
My truck is alive thanks to you!!!!!
Great video I have 03 GMC Sonoma 4.3, I smell anti freeze form exhaust and
# 5 injector is not firing, ( just started) how long do you think i can run
this truck before i start doing some server damage i know this is a tough
question but time is not on my side right now I have 2 weeks and drive 500
miles a week before vac and I would like to start this then. How long is
this project about i do take my time. hopefully not to brake more stuff, i
will change out the spider for the upgrade and new injectors. Thank you for
the video RS
thank you very helpful just have one question for you if you don’t mind
messaging me
Thanks for the Torque values with this video you can’t go wrong I going to
try the dorman product from ebay comes with new bolts for only 54 00
dollars
im doing the job now on a 05 gm 6.0…2500hd my question is ..,’ is it
normal for 2 pistons on the passenger side in the back to be high at the
same time..?.. the driverside is staggered normaly .. whats the right/safe
way to rotate the motor with no heads so I can be sure that piston is still
attached and end up whare I should be to put the heads back on.. im used
to ohc;) pushrods are not my strong side .
Good questions, this one I had previously switched out I go through a
complete flush process, would recommend doing the same if you decide to
switch, as far as oil pump lining up, one one think it should, however it
just seems to be off slightly, its not much barely turn it back just a tad
then it will fall in, sometimes it will go in without turning
Thank you, lots of older models came with valley gasket seals, they had
issue with them and most mechanics would not take the chance re installing
do to come backs, therefore they started using silicone as you seen me do,
and as you noticed the manufacturer uses silicone as well they started
doing the same
awesome thank you, will do
man that sucks, go with the metal back gasket i had better luck
thumbs up!
i have the same engine only mine is 1993. the back ports on my gasket are
blocked off. is this normal?
Nice work Will and I like the little chart popping up showing the sequence
for the tightening of the bolts. So on this engine, there are no end
gaskets to install like some of the other GM models out there?
Enjoyed the series, keep ’em coming!!
Thank you appreciate the feedback, missed you guys glad to be back thanks
again
Thanks Will for the reply and for the valuable info.
Getting ready to do mine for the second time at 212,000 on my 97 k1500.
First one i put in has failed so im going to try it again. Great
informative video will,hope to see more!
That runs awesome. I love that smooth Vortec idle.
Nice video, Will. Glad to have you back!
can you swap out DEXCOOL from any car just by draining it and refilling it
with the green stuff? and when u had to turn the oil-pump counter clockwise
a quarter turn, as you pulled it out wouldnt it have turned with the
distributor aswell so that all you had to do was stab it back in and it
should be lined up for you?
Thank you Sooooo much for this video sir. I have a coolant leak in my 96
Chevy vortex 350 5.7. I thought it was the first intake manifold gasket at
the top, never thought to check the lower gasket. I’ll try it an see what
happens.
I have a 1986 4/4 d21 Nissan truck i need to know how I would go about
fixing my truck
Thanks a LOT just got mine done today it was a three day project for me,
but now I need to verify the timing, hopefully the dealer won’t charge me
much for that.
