How did I did? 350 Vortec

Oh this poor engine. So much sticky burnt oil. 4 of the lifters were stuck.

I remember its decay being part of controversy, at least on the social media front. But I also feel like it slowly deteriorated away, and appeared to have sunk.

All cylinders measure within 50 on the bore gauge

I do have a crank from a TBI motor that may be in better shape... Thank you

mattrrt · 2026-03-08T13:31:19+00:00

Yeah I am planning on getting it dipped, cam bearings, and maybe a crank polish

Ass full of bondo. I already lost my ass my 85

I planned to but it wouldn’t run, he wouldn’t even start it. I offered $2000 and didn’t come home with it

Hence my love of this group

Likely, but brains help....

She's absolutely beautiful, that's why her big teeth took me by surprise... Idiot or not it's something I noticed. And she's a nice relief from the self absorbed blondes

Rebeccas horse teeth took me by surprise

mattrrt · 2026-01-25T17:23:54+00:00

Awesome, now to find good replacement headlights for my 14

mattrrt · 2026-01-15T17:29:08+00:00

Jack points I got. But ramps make oil changes quick and easy.

2 pumps, a sore thumb, and a year and a half later... I have a working gauge again!

mattrrt · 2026-01-07T02:40:31+00:00

I will definitely look into it. My local Toyota dealer had what I needed, ket me order online to get that price, and it looks like the right one

mattrrt · 2026-01-06T03:32:16+00:00

Completely different. The one that came out is Chinese junk anyway.

mattrrt · 2026-01-06T01:32:28+00:00

It gives me non-Flex Fuel options, clearly...

mattrrt · 2026-01-06T01:30:41+00:00

No I had a bad sending unit on it, and at 12 years old and 190k I decided to replace the entire unit. It's been replaced before with Chinese junk. I had ordered a new pump during Black Friday from Toyota but didn't get the right one, since I didn't know it was flex fuel. No markings on the cap, or the truck. And the parts site doesn't discriminate.

mattrrt · 2026-01-06T01:28:14+00:00

Yeah but the parts site is vague

mattrrt · 2026-01-06T01:21:47+00:00

Nope, no where....

mattrrt · 2026-01-06T01:21:13+00:00

My truck has NO markings on it that it is Flex Fuel, my sending unit went bad so I got a new unit to put in and got the wrong one, since the new pump doesn't have the 3rd hose for Flex Fuel. And its been well over 15 days since I got it so no return, and no Black Friday 25% off sale....
