I think I just picked one of these up for a restore...

Its heresy but I went to the amsoil marine lube many many decades ago when I had an 88 with the 305. My 97 has the injected 350 and same. Its only run warm, I freshwater cool it so I have better heat control and I run the (getting really hard to find) GM depth filters, which I think are now the...

GM, has never made these parts, ever. they are supplied to them by ????? (roll, dice, check watch, phase of moon) and the older the vehicle gets, the less picky GM is with who they source from. I dont think you list the year but that list above sniffs as early-mid? 00's. In todays world of...

ha! that chatter is on the manuals too. My '10 clean Tdi 6M lost the dual mass flywheel at 150K, the imbalance took out the main shaft bearings which have to be replaced via complete tear down, so I replaced with a low mile co-part. (still was a $4K bill at the dealership including the south...

well, the PD2 was a special beast that required a very specific oil grade and service...they LITERALLY played the 'death card' if you used another oil - as in severe injury or death can result...... something about an injector leaving the scene with force. (I personally think you have greater...

anti-sneeze. aluminum based. the threads AND the hub face if you are using steel wheels. especially if you are in the rust belt.

the label mostly

That motor uses BOTH types if injection. yes, its direct, but there is also a small plenum injector that keeps the buildup down.

can you put a thicker oil in the engine? the tolerances are awfully tight...and the many OHC setup puts a huge strain on cold pumping startup to get oil up top... that being said, most of my experience with P0019 and the like has been with GM 3.6VVT's. What the code is saying is that he cannot...

True story....guy I know and his wife both have a couple world famous mopars....win at Chrysler nats every time they show, been on the cover of Mopar monthly many times etc. His is a 70ish TA340-6. Numbers matches, el minto...he rebuilt the motor and didnt re-cal his torque wrench and as a...

toronado or pontiac-ish front, chrysler newport in stature and color, and a couple vista cruisers or Kenworth 900's on the upper deck, ending with...a suburban back end.

or even

hmmmm

I think the bigger point is that the engineers - professional grade I think they call themselves - recognized that to do big things you need big motors. It has more to do with mattalurgy and pistons speeds and the aforementioned side loading and wear etc etc than physical size - for example...

oh you would have to search the archives...Im thinking jest prior to obama era when GM defended its continued use of large displacement (mostly pushrod) engines. Dont you guys actually follow any automotive related news?
