I bought myself a LS motor ;) Im entering deep uncharted waters and Im nervous lol Stay tune :cool:

The motor was a complete rebuild from the heads to the bottom end. They even sent pictures of the progress but did a terrible job putting it back together. After talking to the owner he agreed to take a look at it and like you said the valves may need adjusting. Hopefully this will fix it once...

First off guys thanks for all your comments on what to test. After reading what range compression numbers should be within each cylinder no more than 10 to 15% drop in difference I started the compression test on the suspect passenger side of the motor. Cylinder 2 is 120 psi. Cylinder 4 is 90...

Smoke is like a gray blue ish color. Heads are 882. No oil leaks.. Smoke is coming out the pass. side tail pipe. Castrol 10w 30. Is it a way to test the transmission accumulator? I will do a compression test soon.

Trans fluid level stay the same

Long story short I had my 74ish 350 rebuilt around April and have had problems since. Its smokes like a freight train on the passenger side of the motor. It has duel exhaust. No H or X pipe so I know its the pass. side of the motor. Coolant is still green. Motor oil still honey brown. Spark plug...

Installed my Hellwig 1 inch rear sway bar and I can immediately tell the difference on the first test drive.

Today I decided to swap out my rear lower control arms with another set of factory arms with new bushing and had no idea one of the arms on my Elco was bent.

Your a good man sharing that info on the forum. Some guys would not have said a word and kept this Honey Hole to themselves.

Showed my 81 El Camino more love today. Installed my front spoiler (pita to install) and the front bumper fillers.

Finally got around to installing my cowl hood with help from my 61 year old dad. Thanks pop.

Last night/today I sold my 2 inch fiberglass cowl hood to the white Elco and drove home hoodless. I'm picking up my 2 inch steel cowl hood today. (I own the brown Elco)
