the big circled part connects to the little circled part and is somehow broken...what's up here?

 

Hmmmm....

Does anyone else get the mental image of Lennie from "Of Mice and Men" working on this engine. "Hey George look at the pretty parts on this engine....Lennie be careful....Oh no George I broke the pretty parts...It's OK Lennie "



Sorry Matt, I don't know what that is.

 

looks like the oil presure sensor to me

 

ahh...it's the oil pressure unit, figured it out.

 

are those intake ports nasty or is it just me? what causes that? the ports on the 6.0 i pulled were very clean but it only had about 10k miles on it.

 

????? maybe cuz of your nitrous use and the blower? it is a cammed motor too so that could have something to do with it?.?.?.?. but i don't know.

 

I think it's the PCV going into the throttle body. I noticed the intake tube on the blower was a little dirty, as well as the intake ports on the heads when I pulled the blower off.

 

those sensors usually break by putting intake manifold on without precaution. I know a couple of local f-body guys around here that broke that same sensor.

 

My ports looked a little worse than that with 63,000 when I pulled the intake manifold. It is not carbon build up, it is like really sticky sludge???? Who knows...
