Time for new sticks?

So...
When it does start... cant get it to climb above about 2100rpm... and its bellowing cumulo nimbus clouds of white smoke.

Mostly it just does this:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/10144142...ts/A4ovBTfryop

Just pulled vc's while waiting on video to upload...
Fastest time i think yet pulling them in truck...
10 minutes both sides off!

How many votes for injectors?
How many for hpop?
As much fuel as its dumping into clouds... i dont feel fuel restriction is an issue here...

Icp pigtail is totally jacked up... no change unplugged... shorted back together... nothin.

Edit: and its 80* outside...

If you got the VCC's off go ahead and pull the solenoids and check poppet clearance.
See what size filler gauge under the armature plate.
A new injector comes with .004 anything .002 or less then its time for a rebuild

HF had a se for 3$.
Also picked up a fancy shmancy funnel with a flex hose on it for doing tranny flushes...
And a nice new spring loaded wire stripper/electrical pliers...
And a 20oz. Red metal thumb pump oil can..

All for 16$.



I love the toy store...
Almost as much as getting new toys greasy...!



Got a neighbor to crank it while i looked under the hood...
No oil from spouts at all on pass side bank.
No oil from 2&8 on ds bank.


During this observation...
I noticed copious ammounts of oil in the valley under the pedestal...
Odd ... me thinks to myself...

"Crank on it again floyd"...



Oh... duh...

The ds hp oil supply line is vomiting oil where the little wrap around clamp holds it to the head...
That could be the source of the pressure loss...

Calling clay for prescription.

Heh...
Yah... somebody... attempted to do the ccv mod.
Turned the doghouse around...
Left it spitting straight at the firewall...
And stuffed a bolt in the ccv port on the intake.

The first bolt they tried was apparently too small...

Surprisingly...
Its still good to go.
Acceptable side to side travel... no fore and aft play.

The things people do to their trucks...

This poor truck...

New parts... installed everything but the new comp wheel... (yah i know im dumb and didnt get a reinstall kit thinking i could just pull the housing...)

Same results on attempts to start as original video depicts.
New icp and pigtail.
New pass side rear vch pigtail..
New hpo lines..

Sounds like she's only hitting on 3-4 holes.
When i did have the neighbor cranking on it... before i noticed the line dumping oil... i could only see 4 oil spouts actually kicking out oil.

1 on pass side and 3 of them on ds.

Was hoping the no spitters were due to the blown line...
Guess not...
