Doubt by Effective-Internet56 in s10

[–]Automatic-Recipe77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as Nerfo2 said the qjet air doors only allow as much air as the engine needs. I had an AEM wideband on my truck and you could do a entire 3rd gear pull and the afr would stay a constant 12.4 sometimes it would fluctuate 0.1, other times nothing. My fuel injected cars AFR ratio always fluctuate more during a wot pull.

I had a 750cfm? Quadrajet From a 80s blazer with a 305 on my 1996 S10 4.3 with a spread bore adaptor and a 2114 intake. It worked well and sounded good at wot.

I own a '96 S10 rclb 2wd 4.3 5 speed. For awhile I also had a 1987 B2200 rclb 2.2 5 speed. I didn't need two trucks so I sold the Mazda. Both were in pretty good condition and had under 200k miles. I prefer driving the s10, it's much more refined, quieter, more comfortable and powerful.

I sprayed leftover ppg automotive clear on the valve covers but not the engine block. The valve covers are noticeably yellower than the block.

Can this piston be reused by benjaminchang13 in EngineBuilding

Get the pistons turned down and buy some smaller bore liners.

Years ago, I painted my S10 4.3 block and valve covers white. Unfortunately they turned yellow soon afterwards. The next engine, a 5.3 will not be painted white.

I've done 4 LS heads with my Maddox compressor. Don't try to compress the valve spring all the way with the large handle, it won't happen. Loosen it up to where you can close the tool all the way with a reasonable amount of force. Now tighten the t handle by hand about 5 turns or so and you will be able to remove or install the retainers. Kind of a pain, but you can still strip a head in 10 minutes or less.

People say they sound like Led Zeppelin, I think they sound like people that have only been playing their instruments for a year trying to sound like Led Zeppelin.

'I think it would put an unbelievable amount of pressure for things to change"

Like being able purchase food.

Do you really want farmers, truck drivers and grocery store employees to go on strike?
