I ruined the yellow truck.

My yellow truck recently whiped a cam lobe, so I have parked it until my new cam comes (comp cam 0.489 lift, 223 duration).

Since we have been getting some fierce snow lately, I have found that my '95 Suburban's tires are like drag slicks compared to the yellow trucks 265 75 r15 Cooper Discoverers.

So I swapped wheels.

Compared to those dinkey aluminum wheels that were on the Suburban before, these look badass.

But I basically ruined the yellow truck.

This won't stick, just until I fix the yellow truck.

It don't look right. You gonna go through the 250 while you're at it or just replace the cam and rock it?

The old wheels do look good on the newer truck though.

I ran it a bit low on oil, (not that low) and cold started it.

I don't think it is catastrophically damaged, but the intake valve on cylinder No. 4 does not really open at all.

I changed the oil, and completely disabled number 4 (Pulled the rockers and push rods out) since I still need it within the next week.

I don't plan t go through the engine (I don't have time). I am just replacing the camshaft and cylinder head.

I am not even taking the engine out of the truck, I am just going to pull the radiator and grille.

I also have a new head off a 194 which should bump my compression up to 10 to 1.

Sounds like a decent plan. Can be done in a weekend.

No, but I am about to go on a two week Christmas break (I am a senior in high school) and I will be able to work on it then. Other then the fact that my hours at work are a bit crazy at this time of year, I should be able to get it done.

 

[DoubleDingo]

Once you open it up you'll want to button it up as soon as possible. Having the Christmas break will help a lot. I will taking vacation over Christmas to get stuff done because I am limited on time otherwise.

Unruined now, turns out to have been a bent pushrod somehow.

Stuck one in from my 194 parts motor, and I'm back in business.

Other than swapping the wheels/tire back onto my truck, I also had my suburbans tires remounted on some junkyard steel wheels I got.

Really looks better, especially with the new grille.

I still have the camshaft, and still plan to install it, but i'll just keep driving it for now.

Well it was a good story.
The character development was interesting, I think the audience really enjoys the "wheel and tire options" but the ending sucks.
Theres no drama or anything which pull the audience back in...maybe a simple bonus fix or a tool trick would help provide a satisfying conclusion..


good luck.

LOL- kind of like Once upon a time in Hollywood- wait, WTF ?



Glad it was a simple (relatively ) fix for the OP, though!

Glad you got it back up and running, with minimal effort.

By the way, I like both the boats in the background. That's where most of my free time / money goes...
