    Oil pan off, anything I should do while I’m under there?

    I’m doing the rear main but don’t know how far I want to go with the timing chain and all. I’m planning on building this engine in the spring/summer so I think I will leave that alone for now.

    Oil pan off, anything I should do while I’m under there?

    This engine has great oil pressure. I run 60-80 psi all day

    Oil pan off, anything I should do while I’m under there?

    Can they be rebuilt/refurbished? It might not even be worth the money if they can

    Oil pan off, anything I should do while I’m under there?

    I have my oil pan off for a new gasket and was wondering if there is anything I should do, check, or look for while I’m under there? It’s my first look at the bottom end of this engine and I’m very surprised that it’s as clean as it is.

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    Great, I will definitely be checking out that thread. I will also check out your YouTube. It looked to be really helpful. Thank you again

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    It was rebuilt by a shop my grandfather worked at about 25 years ago but then he let the truck sit right after that. It probably has around 1,000 miles on it right now. I wasn’t going to do anything to it when I rebuilt the engine except for a different TC. In the spring I will be going through...

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    Thank you, I appreciate all the help. I’m going to be rebuilding this engine soon so I’ll make sure the crank and everything is working properly

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    35 ft lbs. I didn’t inspect the threads on the mounting pads. I probably should have done that first but all three bolts were loose so I just went ahead and tightened them down.

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    This was it. Don’t hear the knocking anymore but if it happens once… it can happen twice. Is there something I should do to keep them from backing out again?

    Two full throttle revs. Just real quick

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    No. The motor has very good oil pressure

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    Good to know. Still doesn’t fix the problem though because if that was causing the noise then I would hear it in park and neutral, right?

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    The flexplate checked out ok. No cracks. But I found that there is play between the flexplate and torque converter. Is this right or should they be tightened together?

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    This knocking noise just started happening after I did a couple high revs in the driveway. It only starts knocking in Drive and Reverse. Sounds just like a rod knocking but obviously isn’t that. I don’t know what else to say but I can answer any questions. Thanks in advance!

    K5 Blazer values… possibly buying 86 k5

    @Grit dog Yes, you’re right. There are a lot of clean trucks up here but since I’m looking for a decent 4x4 truck to build a wheeler out of it seams there’s a lot of rust due to wet weather and a lot of mud. @bucket Yes there isn’t as much rust here as the rust belt but living here I see the...

    Hi from Northeast Ohio

    Welcome from Washington! You have a great looking truck!

    K5 Blazer values… possibly buying 86 k5

    Maybe I’m stupid but… I’d head down the street and give it a look. Looking don’t hurt and neither does buying if it happens to be in good shape. Just my 2 cents. :33:

    K5 Blazer values… possibly buying 86 k5

    GO GET IT! Man that thing looks clean! Maybe that’s just because I’m used to seeing PNW trucks up here where rust is everywhere. 6k seems very reasonable in my opinion. Good luck :D

    Really tight front brakes!

    This gets me thinking… how much twist will affect it?

    You’ve got a deal! I’ll take 125k, cash, please… and since we’re on the subject, I need a new shop built too. :33::happy107::roflbow:

    I made sure the calipers weren’t left hanging be the hose. I didn’t know that twisted lines would do that. Helpful information for the future. Thank you

    Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban

    Yup, I really want a manual transmission truck. Trying to find another with a manual and 4x4. I leaned to drive on a manual transmission so it’s second nature to me. They’re so much fun
