Re: engine problems, again. update!!

The drivers is not smoking at all.

So here they are and I hope they help you all.

just watched the 2 vids, i may be wrong, but that motor is running on 3 or 4 cylinders, or you got a huge cam in it, and the smoke looks pretty white to me, is it going down on coolant? think you may want to check compression, just my 2 cents, but it dont look good

I doubt I have a huge cam.
I still have a full reservoir of coolant/water 50/50 stuff.
I just have to get the compression gauge and I will check it, but as of now I don't have one.
Does it really look that bad?

it aint looking good, them valves are not right, use the method i gave above, the timing isnt far off she fires up pretty quick, but them valves man, set em an see what happens

Did some of those plugs that you removed look to be real clean? That white smoke probably smell sweet cause it sure looks like coolant

Yeah i would say a little more than half, looked to be good.
No gunk no dirt.
Only a few looked to be gunked and dirty.
Why you ask?
I really cant smell to good, i have a stopped up nose for the past few days.

you'd smell it if it was coolant, was there anything chalky white on the plugs?. Or if you have a th 350 transmission the modulator is defective and your engine is sucking up transmission fluid and burning it when you rev the engine

There wasn't any white on the plugs when I pulled them, no.
I don't know what trans I have, They said it was a th 350 but I don't know.
Its what I had when I had the 3.8 in the car.

Are you supposed to be using both vacuum ports on the edlebrock 1406 carb, on my sbc350 in my camaro I only use one side, I dont know if that helps you at all. Good luck...

Here's a few pictures and a video.
I checked the lines, I saw none that were disconnected cut breaking or anything they all seemed fine.

But here's the pictures, I hope They're good enough.

and here's the video, Don't mind the wife haha.
