I've been working on this all summer. It's October now. I cot a new comp cam also though. Had the heads machined with a valve job and new bigger springs to match the cam. Took apart the lifters and cleaned them. Cleaned the intake. Replaced almost everything and painted as I went. New headers. Hope to be done by the end of the month. Biggest job I've ever done. 98 burbon

I may have missed it if they mentioned it but keep in mind, if you have the Theft Lock system in your truck, having your battery disconnected for a length of time will cause the anti- theft system to reset. When you try to start the truck, the computer will disable the fuel pump and it will try but not start - making you think something else is wrong. You will have to simply do the relearn procedure. It's easy and takes 30 minutes. Google it if you want but you basically insert the key and turn the ignition to on without turning over the engine. Leave it there for 10 minutes. Then turn the ignition to off for 10 seconds. Back to on position, then off for 10 seconds. Back on for 10 minutes, then off for 10 seconds. After 3 cycles of this, as long as your distributor is installed properly and all else is good, the truck should start. I learned this when one of my kids left a light on in my Tahoe once and I didn't drive it for a week - had to reset the security system. Future plans are to take it to a tuning shop and reprogram the computer to NOT have the anti-theft system as that system can create quite a headache if and when it malfunctions.

We thought we were going to have to pay a shop $4000 to do this job. It ended up being around $200 thanks to this video. We did break an exhaust bolt and strip a distributor screw, but other than that, a fresh oil change after the job & she fired right up with ZERO issues. Thank you. We finished the job in one weekend and he was able to take his truck to work. He works at Auto-Zone and all the fellas there were telling him the truck isn’t worth keeping for the amount it would cost to fix. A1 Auto just earned my business. Sorry Autozone

Great video thank you. It'b been immensely helpful. 1 question, I only removed one head to fix one cylinder valve and I set cylinder 1 to TDC before removing the head as instructed in the video. When replacing the push rods and rocker arms why do you need to adjust certain ones then rotate the engine to finish the rest? Why can you not just install and adjust them as is given they are already in the same position you removed them?
@lamborgatti-47832 жыл бұрын

Here's how if you havent found out by now and this will work without a timing light, 1.Take the cap off of distributor 2.set distributor into hole make sure rotor is pointing towards farthest cylinder to the front on ur right and if it does not fully seat slowly turn the crank pulley until it drops in making sure rotor stays then if it does not go in look inside where the Dist. Goes with a flat head screwdriver and move the oil thing I forgot what is called but make sure to align it where it drops down with the rotor towards the cylinder I said and if it doesnt start turn the crank pulley 360 degrees around then it should be enough to get it started and as its idling move the dist. Left or right to get it better in time all without a timing light and also lookup a chart for the plugs or tape each one labeling it and remove just the ones connected to the engine not the dist. Hope this helps have a good day!

I just did the job in my '98 K2500 (well, in the middle of it, truth be told) and while I took the intake manifold off to clean it up & replace gaskets, I *think* it's theoretically possible to keep the intake manifold on and only remove a head. To answer the question I had at first myself: the distributor goes *through* the intake manifold entirely, so you can't get that off without pulling the distributor out and worrying about re-aligning this ridiculous, antiquated "timing" system. It wouldn't be easy to pull a head by itself; remember to remove the intake manifold bolts on that side because they go through the head, you have to have some concern about lining up the intake gasket stuck to the side of the head at the same time as lining it up on a new head gasket, and also I'd worry about the liquid gasket staying sealed in place. But, if I ever do my other head (only did passenger side this time), I'll probably attempt this.

I have a 73 Impala that I have been trying to get someone to come look at for over a year. Is this something somebody can or should do with no experience? I just know how to make the car look good. Never tried mechanic work but I'm tired of waiting.

This was so detailed I would try it myself, But since Dad gave me the car if I get in trouble he'll have a fit! But since no one can find Oil that is leaking in to coolant, when he comes home from vacation in a month I have to give it back. He will bring it to his guy as he doesn't trust anyone in my rural area.

so, when you torque down the heads, you only make one pass at 22 ft lbs. and proceed to finish torque sequence with angle gauge? Also do you still follow the torque order with the angle gauge?

So you can rotate the engine while the distributor is out as long as its back to tdc compression when you reinstall it?
