I usually never haul anythin, but a month or so ago , I found myself pulling a 2,500 pound trailer with a 67 dodge polara on top of it
( someone loaned me a dualiie with 4:56 gears and stock tires and a non overdrive trans that got like 7mpg that tached out @ 80 and i said no thanks), i decided to go down 277 to avoid traffic while pulling( i got stopped every 45 minutes by state troopers telling me my Oklahoma trailer has no Licence plates
+ my truck is loud as hell with a load on it). Found gas stations with 93 octane to be rare on 277, ran out of octane boost and out of fuel, had to fill up with 87 @ a hole in the wall gas station
. I have a 93 Octane tune.(insert rattleing sounds here) I think I made my little lm7 angry. shortly there after, i notice im losing a gallon of coolant every 1,000 miles. What do you think happned? I dont want to worry about it so Im throwing in my spare motor.
The spare gets a 222/224 .581 114lsa cam and all new gaskets and seals and a new timing chain, should be fun for a while![]()
I cant find a leak in the old motor. I changed the oil, it dont have any coolant in it, but the #7 plug looks like it has seen a bit of coolant. Blown head gasket, cracked head?it feels like its way down on power.
Any ideas on what happned?
Should i bother Rebuilding it?
Yah, i know, im dumb or maybe really impatient:
and now im driving that retardedly geared dualie with small tires.........![]()
