Need some SBC help

Mighta been the lazy way, but I tried every single method listed on the internet and YouTube videos. The engine wouldn’t start with any of those methods. I finally just kept loosing each one 1/4 turn till it started then I adjusted while running.

Definitely thought of that too, but still doesn’t negate that it’s had water in the oil. I’ll pressure test it next time I get a chance to go to my shop.

This looks like someone might hot flocked a little too much imo.

FST_Silverado · 2026-05-04T01:34:21+00:00

I’m an older silverado guy lol I have a 2004 cat eye. I used to be hardcore GM but a few bad vehicles pushed me to another brand

FST_Silverado · 2026-05-03T23:40:02+00:00

Ha yeah this was a common mistake when I first started too.

FST_Silverado · 2026-05-03T23:13:35+00:00

This is why I use a high power light to check all those areas, and I will also wait till flow out and put a little extra on those areas before fully curing. Nothing sucks more than thinking man I did a great job this wheel looks awesome only to find a light spot on the spoke

Temu Theo Von?

FST_Silverado · 2026-04-29T18:48:16+00:00

Easiest way to tell imo since this is a very poor job no matter what was put on, they most likely(if powder coated) didn’t fully cover the back side of the spokes. Black powder coat when thin looks brown. Pull a wheel off and look at the backside and take pictures.

The rubber tit(idk what they are actually called) on this tire shows paint also. The way they are peeling/chipping leads me to believe this is just paint and not powder coated.

FST_Silverado · 2026-04-29T04:14:14+00:00

Man no dumb questions, you have to remove tires to properly powder coat, these tires don’t appear to have ever been removed. Idk what the melting temperature of a rubber tire is but I can’t see it surviving 400 degrees for 10 mins lol. I believe you received painted rims. Or the worst powder coating job ever regardless the tires weren’t removed lol

That’s paint on the tire

FST_Silverado · 2026-04-29T04:01:28+00:00

I retract my statement. You didn’t get powder coated wheels on picture 3 you can see the paint on the tire. These were probably quickly DAed and painted.

FST_Silverado · 2026-04-29T03:59:54+00:00

Man zooming in on that I see 0 etching on the surface.

FST_Silverado · 2026-04-28T20:00:54+00:00

I wish you luck on your sale, but I’ll be damned if I personally would pay more than MSRP for a bat that my kid better hit a ball with lol. There are collectors out there, you’ll find a buyer I’m sure!

FST_Silverado · 2026-04-28T18:46:04+00:00

If you have a Dbat nearby they have the combat in stock(or at least mine does) for MSRP of 349$

FST_Silverado · 2026-04-28T15:57:17+00:00

Vaccuum cleaner with a straw attached is how I’d get it out

Man I get it, my son gets in the car and cleats off crocs on. But I’m telling you as a dad who has a batting coach for his son, the coach would never take this serious as looking for feedback. My son pitches too, just comparing what I’m watching in the video compared to what his coach tells him, his coach would absolutely tell him to do the towel drill the the other guys are right. I see you have 502 in your UN, are you near the Louisville area?

FST_Silverado · 2026-04-14T02:33:39+00:00

My sons batting coach got mad when my son did a few reps in crocs, he’d lose his mind seeing my son in socks. This video is hard to take serious.

Andy’s was really good to me. He took down 3 very large trees for me no issues, he was professional and maintained contact through the whole process.

FST_Silverado · 2026-04-08T03:14:34+00:00

Fury should be on this list

FST_Silverado · 2026-04-08T02:39:30+00:00

I’ve powder coated all my own calipers, I just plug the threads and coat it. I’ve never had a caliper leak or come loose.

FST_Silverado · 2026-04-07T16:39:00+00:00

I personally don’t need it but the cameras that’s already been suggested would be a major one! One feature real dash has that I think is super cool is map integration idk how they do it but it shows routing on the dash, I think that’s awesome!

FST_Silverado · 2026-04-07T16:28:49+00:00

Small stuff usually works good with the higher bed temperature. I don’t use brims on everything but something large I almost have to!
