Eric,

Is that the 2 bolt mains motor that you ran the T-74 on for a while???

I wonder why its not happy........

Damn Dood that blows big chunks.

So how many miles are on your motor?
Surely doesn't seem right that there is already oil past the rings...

Wish you luck brotha.

Yeah the same motor that's prolly got 5000 miles on it since installation 2 years ago.

might have had something to do with me going a tad lean with a big cam, a PT74 and 20PSI!

Have you leaked it down or done a compression test yet?

Might be as simple as an intake leaking. You have those double gasket deals on the intake right?

Just trying to be optomistic :wink:

I'm 99% sure that he's running worked L35's.

 

[TurboManiacal]

you'd be correct

Well, stock gaskets have been known to leak too.

Any vacuum in the crankcase?

E prolly forgot that when you change the oil your not supposed to "fill it up" (ie running out of the valve cover) those damn ghetto booty lovers always love their oil's

 

[sytydvr]

Do a compression check if its low check your valve for proper adjusment they might be too tight.... if your compression is good your plug or spark plug wire is bad...

It cant be an intake because not much oil can go through there.

if lets say you have low compression and your valves have been properly adjusted you most likely have broken rings and/or cracked piston

I hope its just a fouled plug

good luck E

 

[E-Rue]

you guys are missin the point..... there is so much oil on the plug, it looks like i just dipped it in an oil pan. lol at the very least id have to take the head off, and to be honest if im gonna go that far, id rather remove the motor and do all the things i wish i had done to start with. i have a short wish list, and i hope to have it fixed and running again next month.

ill let ya know what we find when i get it out of the truck.
