    Help Diagnosing Oil leak

    Do the AFM Deflector actually help with consumption?? Also does the orientation of the holes on the oil pressure relief valve matter??? I remember when I installed my new oil pan I didnt pay attention to which way the oil holes were aligned on the oil pressure relief valve ??

    Bought core block

    Well after all the previous work I ran into a problem where the camshaft would not rotate after torquing the cam bolts. While trying to solve the issue I reinstalled the old retainer plate and that did not solve the issue. Leading to the replacement ebay camshaft being the issue. I placed the...

    Bought core block

    Update: Bought a stock rated camshaft and got it installed. I reused the cam plate/gasket after cleaning it since gasket was in good shape and it's the recessed style. I have a new timing chain and the way. But will still be using oem sprockets they seem to be in good condition. I didn't...

    2005 Yukon Denali motor and Tran swap 2007 Yukon Denali

    Some of the sensors on the gen 3(99-06) are in different locations than the gen 4. The 2 different years use different reluctor wheels on the crankshaft so youll need some type of signal converter and a extended wiring harness

    Bought core block

    the grove is damaged. Im thinking this can not be repaired.I'll ask the machine shop this Monday. The rockauto piston thats 30 bucks is a GM and the pistons in my block are GM just the part numbers are different. I was hoping if someone knew if they would be interchangeable

    Yes the top ring grove has a scuff around the grove which makes the ring get stuck in the grove. When I dis assembled everything I used a wire brush,brake cleaner and piece of broken ring to clean the groves. All other piston and groves are ok.
