Check out my thread, I did the pressure relief valve PLUG.

Nice job man, engine looks good.

 

Thanks guys for the help! i can live with this pressure, just really spooked me after being used to AFM pressure..

Anyways heres a different video, it lopes a little harder in this one. I just CANNOT wait to get my headers, ORY and cutout on lol

 

so i will be doing my LT headers and y pipe this weekend. was wondering what is the best way to remove my oil dipstick tube? I hear of them breaking alot

 

Remove bolt and the spark plug wire it goes by and gently but firmly wiggle and pull... My ex's suburban has three of the bottom part of the dipsticks laying in the oil pan at this point....

 

pan is coming off anyways.. i decided to go ahead and plug that relief valve.. so if i break it, i break it lol

 

How did your cam bearings look, btw???

 

perfect! i was only looking through the front of the motor obviously but they showed no signs of real wear.. Cam came out with no force either. New cam went in perfectly as well. Oddly enough the lifters & cam looked completely fine too in spite of having the AFM problem

 

Were any lifters collapsed??

 

no, they all looked fine.. not sure why my pickup was acting like it was. would hardly run when i parked it

 

A dod Lifter may have been stuck or collapsed...and while it sat it may have popped back out....theres a bunch of reasons it couldve been acting up....
