What is the gap on spark plug 4 point3 gmc

Thanks for the reply , hope you find something in the video helpful.

I'm away at work but the engine is still not ready at the machine shop , hopefully it is when I get back home this time. Good luck with your build!

@UCKgaCSZ5MWpUVv-2NdcxVqg yes...., "brother man."🤔 I've been there, done that...... The anticipation has to, SUCK, dingle berries, like sand through, CONCRETE! What sucks about the, "waiting game" is that it is the, SAME, For this engine as the last one, as well as the next, one! The only thing that sucks worse is the FIRST, initial, "start up", when you/eye am as nervous as a dog schitting a, peach seed. When you KNOW that it only takes 1 bolt, rod cap, main cap, oil pump bolt, either totally, forgotten about, or improperly, torqued, & it's back to squar...... nevermind Gear heads know the, drill... hahaha... hehe. 😉✌❤💯 Good ol', "NEGATIVE Nancy doesnt get entertained by, me, my friend, ...... phuck that cunt! "L👁👁KING 4WARD to a ride along vidya, soon, brother. My comment has accidentally run like, diahreaa, "Again", THANK YOU, DEARLY, for your time boiz & goiylz!! "IF YOU'RE STILL WIMME? You are the, "Beez kneez!" ❤❤❤

Put down the pipe and move away,

@Clay Green Doing the same thing with my 93 K1500. I have redone most of the interior.. My new 40-20-40 front seat will be here in May and then it's just little odds and ends to finish up the inside (glove box door, new map/dome light assembly, color matched sun visors, etc.. Just took the 350 short block to the machine shop yesterday to get cleaned, machined, new pistons if they decide to bore it out (355) new cam/main bearings, threaded oil galley plugs, new freeze plugs, and they're gonna pop in my new cam and timing set for me. Final setup will be: 350 or 355 with 906/062 iron vortec heads, 2.02"intake/1.60"exhaust. Comp Cams XE256H flat tappet: .449/.456 lift, 212/218 duration (@ .05) 112° LSA Long tube headers, GM performance TBI Vortec intake, gonna keep the factory throttle body but rebuild it with new injectors and a 13lb regulator spring. Probably other shit I'm gonna do but I'm off to a great start. I love these 90s GM pickups.

And how did 50 grand turn into 80k $ for a pickup truck?

Thanks for the reply and good luck with your build!!

*Likewise @Mr. Jay's Garage

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!!

Thanks for the reply. We had one here but it became time sensitive and was not possible to film , I really wish I could have but I have the engine from the video heading to the machine shop soon and we will do that one hopefully this spring. It takes a few weeks to get anything done it seems.

Hi , thanks for the reply and subscribing! We will have an assembly video coming as well in the near future.

How did it work out?

307000 miles is awesome , good luck with the rebuild!!

Thank You!!

Thanks Larry , appreciate the comment.

I appreciate the comment , thanks for watching!

Sounds like you got a great little engine there! They were quite reliable when taken care of.

​@@jaysgarage3616 Eventually, when the engine starts getting weak, I intend to do a mild build on it with a mild cam and bore it out a little seeing the 700R4 tranny has already been rebuilt with a stage 1 B&M shift kit and can handle the extra power.

I wish I could go there! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the reply. That took years to assemble that box.

Thank you!

It can be a lot of fun , good luck with the project!!

Thank you very much and thanks for watching!!

Anytime!! Thanks for the comment!

Thanks!! I appreciate the comment!

There was a teardown and 4 assembly videos followed , stock build. Will look at some performance stuff in future videos. Thanks for watching!

Thanks , hope it helps.

Good to hear feedback , thank you.

Thanks!! Appreciate the comment!!

Thanks for the comment , I will look that cam up. We will be debating cams when we reassemble this TBI engine which is currently at the machine shop.

A cam swap for an additional 130 hp? I’m calling BS. The primitive, by today’s standards, ECM on these engines, (350 L05) severely limit what you can do and still have the engine properly function. The cam you refer to has to be able to work as a whole within the limits of the ECM. While I’m not familiar with Engine Tech, or the specs of the cam you mention, there are several well known cam grinders that have an “RV” cam that is designed to work with the existing limits of the ECM, TBI, heads, and C.R. of the 350 L05. By itself, the cam might be good for maybe 30hp tops.

@@bondpit8750 I'm trying to do this very thing: eek as much HP as I can from my original TBI 5.7 while not upsetting the stock ECM on my 1987 Chevy Silverado. Unlike the 727 block in this video, my 5.7 TBI block is "roller-ready". So I was planning to put the newer (90-96ish?) L31 truck roller cam in it. But leave most everything else alone. Do you think I can get 25-35hp just from the cam swap and still keep my stock ECM happy?

Thanks for the comment Bo , I thought we went over that in the video? It was an April fool engine .

Not a bad idea , thanks for the reply!

My TBI came from factory drilled and tapped for a roller cam. A LT1 cam and vortec heads really wake these TBI 350’s. Just need to get a new tune in the ECM and your golden

Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!!

Thanks man!

Haha , It was bad!

Thanks for the reply , I'm glad it helped!

Thanks for the tip Brian.

Hey thanks for the comment!! Could be a tune up issue , vacuum leak etc. So hard to diagnose without seeing it , hope you get it figured out.

Thanks for the comment Todd and good luck with your build!

Hi Robert , There is room to push the lifters out the cam tunnel , all 16 from this engine went out that way. Thanks for the question!

Sounds like a neat project! Thanks for watching!

Smelled like it as well , the core was actually pretty good overall considering how it looked coming apart.

Thanks for the comments. I do think the positioning could have been better after seeing it.

No problem , thanks for the comment!

Hi Larry , The engine was sent to the machine shop , Block, Crank , Rods , Heads. I have a 4 part build on this engine if you can see my other videos. Thanks.

Do you have a valve cover leak or any sign of a leak that would go toward that plug? If the oil is on the threads only it's a leak If not it is likely carbon deposits Were the heads rebuilt? when does it smoke? If it smokes at start up its usually valve guides and seals. What rings did you use? Does it run well other than this? To check rings do you have access to a leak down tester? I can only make suggestions but this is a start. Good luck and keep us updated.

Thanks for the reply and thanks for watching!!

It typically would not , a spun cam bearing maybe but not common in a 4.3.

Thank you for the reply!!

I usually don't buy kits , if you know someone who has an Engine tech account they offer a stock kit. I usually have the machine shop supply pistons and bearings and I buy everything else from Rock Auto. Not sure this helped much but it's what I do here in Canada. We will be starting to video the assembly soon , I will list the parts as we are going and where they came from.

That's right , you can have either a 2 or 4 bolt with the 727 block , you would need to verify by dropping the pan.

Yes you can!! Make sure your block has the provision for a mechanical pump.

@@jaysgarage3616 thank you

You need a cam bearing removal / installation tool to press / tap them out , and then re-install.
