See the oily reside where the TB sits on the base. Is this a cause for concern?

I wouldn't worry about it D, my Blazer has it as does most every other TBI I see.

Thanks guys! Got that booger off tonight. I first tried cracking it since I'd cut a slit 90% through it already, but it still didn't get it. What worked was opening the CL442s and loosely putting the jaws around the base of the rotor, then prying up on the handles. Three good "heave ho's" and the thing popped off! Since I already had the anti-seize out from doing the plugs, I put some of that on the shaft before the rotor. Got the new cap on, and fired her up make sure the firing order and everything was correct. She was still doing the slight up & down on idle for about 20 secs, then she stabilized nicely. It's running as smooth as a brand new truck now.

Tomorrow or Friday, I'll drop in a new PCV valve, put the breather back on, and hopefully wash down the engine before I call it a wrap.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys!

Awesome, you got it !!!

TeeHee, He lubbed his shaft !!!

I'm all for the "leave well enough alone" program! Thanks!

What? You guys don't lube your shafts? You'd better start before you do permanent damage to your ball bearings!

Well you know us Chevy guys and the old adage. If it ain't broke don't fix it !!! Well, then we'd never get to play trucks doing that. So we have to break them just to have an excuse to work on them and play with the tools.

The housing`s spozed to lube the shaft. Had the housing go dry once, now the shafts all bent~N~twisted.

Yep! When it doubt, the answer is always "more lube"!
