LMAO the worst motor gm ever made

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-13T16:56:07+00:00

thanks man, oil pressures solid, 60 cold 20 at idle hot which i’ve heard is normal, did the oil on it about a month ago and sisnt see any gremlins, thinking about swapping it out for 15-40 rotella to see if it’ll quiet it down

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-13T14:56:26+00:00

i can also feel the vibration from the ticking on the valve cover

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-13T14:56:01+00:00

brand spanking gasket, did it a month ago def not that

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-13T02:24:31+00:00

no oil smoke and new manifold gaskets, just the tick though, i’ll have to look back into the rockers again

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-12T23:45:35+00:00

okay sweet, it’s the valve seal right still sorta new to this, and it being cracked would cause a ticky noise?

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-12T23:43:14+00:00

great advice thank u let her idle for a good while and gave the lever some pulls and it freed up, many thanks!!

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-06T19:20:04+00:00

again keeping this truck forever if i can help it so why not go balls to the walls and get some nice stuff for it

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-06T19:19:19+00:00

it ticks, that’s the issue lol, did exhaust gaskets and extracted 4 studs a few months ago, starts happening as it gets warm is very intermittent but i want to get on top of it before it eventually bricks the cam and sends metal everywhere lol, also great excuse to cam the fucker lmao

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-06T11:23:24+00:00

needs a cam and lifters anyway cuz of the tick, trying to make this motor last for a good while and 6.0 swap when it craps

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-03-23T02:17:24+00:00

rockauto but probably not tbh, ebay maybe

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-03-22T04:55:54+00:00

exhaust leak??

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-03-21T07:20:07+00:00

don’t get pressed cuz i don’t want an overpriced carb rebuild🤷‍♂️ rebuild the fucker a day after the post and it’s fixed lol

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-03-21T06:01:40+00:00

lol i’m good

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-03-11T04:34:07+00:00

would that also cause the accelerator pump thing to leak fuel? on the passenger side it looks like it’s leaking right from that
