Group hug needed
 

A bit off topic but i had just spent 2 hours cleaning my truck out and getting her all purdy for a trip to the lake on saturday. Went to town to mail a package and get some other items and BAM! Truck stalls out... Got it restarted and its running rough, barely running, a small amount of black smoke.

Okay, check the Dist cap, rotor, fuel system, spark. No problem, fuel smells a little funky but it burns nice.

Hmmmm, maybe try a compression test?

110 lowest, 152 the highest. Not bad for 190k on that 3.1 GM!


Get to the middle cylinder on the driver side........ ZERO psi. :rant::rant:

Going to pull the intake and head tomorrow and see what i can find. :s7:

That sucks!

Time for a new one?

yeah a new head! Going to call a shop tomorrow and see if he can do a valve job.

That's a bummer. Hope it's not to costly to fix. Wouldn't want you to have to sell a gun to pay for it.:s6:

I was thinkin of selling one or 2 to buy a 57 chevy step side! LOVE that model.

Wow, it would be twice as old as you are.:evil:

yeah but shes beat up and in need of a LOT of love. interior is stripped, no motor, no side windows. Rough shape, new fenders alone will run a grand. Still thinking on it, they are not easy to find these days.

my 1955 FORD is for sale
