need engine help

[bobbys97r]

I went to take the car for a spin and I hit it in first gear hit 3K RPMs and it was like hitting a ****ing brick wall it will rev past that but very slowley while poping and spuddering and a huge power loss. All I can think of is IMRC but I drove the car last night and it was fine.

Check fuel pressure and while your checking it duplicate when it did it. i.e if it was cold and what not.

 

[bobbys97r]

it does it hot and cold

Ok i tore in to the engine this after noon and the IMRC looked bad but not that bad but my valves looked like hell

I throw a new fuel filter on and a PVC oil separator while your at it.

looking at that picture whats the best way to clean the valves without causing damage?

That is gnarly as ****. Thats how bad my motor was when we pulled it for the rebuild. Im thinking it is all the oil that is sen through the pcv system. Im deleting my pcv system with the new motor.

Dont delete, its there for a reason. A $15 campbell hausfeld oil seperator available almost anywhere, and $2 worth of tubing can fix that problem. The terminator guys seem to be big on this mod.

I like breathers!

To clean, (With old spark plugs)
I bump the motor til the intake valve opens, spray the hell out of it with carb cleaner, let sit a few minutes to evaporate, move to the next one.

When it is all back together, fire it up. That crap will burn out in no time.

Change plugs.

A Campbell Housfield seperator is not compatible with synthetic oils.

Go with Breathers.

+1 on breathers.

I kept watching all these people mess with spending money on so-so separators, so I just went to Autozone and spent $9 to eliminate the problem completely. lol.

 

[Gallows]

So did you cap or plug the bung on the side of the intake?

 

[RippinSVT]

of course, or you'd have a massive vacuum leak.


I just used a basic vacuum cap.

 

[Gallows]

I should of been more clear. I meant JB Weld the hole or plastic cap. Thanks:beer:

 

[97cobraheaven]

that is pretty rougish looking in there! I agree with stampede, carb cleaner is your best bet. Although i think i would do one cylinder and fire it up after each one while its good and ready to be blown out.

 

[Stavesacre21]

ok im gonna swallow my pride and ask a seemingly stupid question...what are breathers?
