I recent pull my motor out of my 2010 Chevy Tahoe PPV and put a non vvt motor in it that was pulled from a perfectly running 2008 Tahoe it is super hard to crank now and when it does it will run for about 2 seconds and the exhaust is coming from the intake along with a little bit of white smoke what could cause this knowing the engine was running perfectly fine when it was pulled ?

When they torqued the heads down did they blow all the coolant or water out of the threaded holes for the head bolts?

You’d know if there’s a problem by buying an inexpensive test kit that goes on top of the coolant reservoir and sniffs out exhaust in the coolant.

Heads were never pulled off

Can you post up a list of parts or the AFM delete kit?

Any luck on swapping the spark plugs?
