?

When I measure the change in my valve spring height from closed to open it says it's much less than the cam advertised lift, I am using a digital caliper and measuring from the top edge of the spring to the seat at both heights. What could cause this, or am I just doing it wrong?

The cam is in good shape, no flat lobes it measured correct when installed. All of the springs are measuring like this, could it be my pushrods or rocker arms??

Thanks in advance

I have a 2006 Malibu with the 2.2l ecoTec I4 engine and I'm having some transmission slips so I was wondering if I could replace it with a transmission from a 2.4l eco Tec with 6 speeds, like the equinox tranny that also has overdrive. This should get me better gas mileage too right, I have a 45 minute, one way, highway drive to work. Thanks

I have a 700-r4 from a 1986 chevy diesel truck, autozone's site says that it takes 11.5 quarts to refill that, but What about the torque converter, I bought a different one to raise my stall speed from 1300ish to 2000 but I don't know where to find how much fluid needs to go in it.

also how much horsepower/torque do you figure this kind of transmission can hold up to in stock form +new converter?

thanks

I took my timing cover off and my engine has a double roller timing chain, the only number on it is "5266" but the 6s also look like 8s I has searched every combination 5266 5268 5286 5288 but found nothing. There is also a capital T between two of the cam bolts if that helps. Thanks

Just got my 350 to fire up after rebuilding/upgrading the top end vortec heads performer rpm intake 268 comp cams cam. It idled and started fine but it died as soon as I pressed the gas even a little. What could cause this?

My front passenger side turn signal is missing, has been since I bought the car, but I cannot seem to find a replacement anywhere online. It is not the longer clear rectangular ones that are on the later models, but rather amber and more squared. If anyone knows where I can get one that'd be awesome.

will these tires fit on a 15x7 rim?

I have a 1969 block casting number 3956618 suffix code is T0923CNJ, original heads were 3927186, now vortec, would this block more likely have come with a cast or forged crankshaft from the factory? I just put a new oil pan gasket on and forgot to check the number on the crank while I had it off, and I really don't want to pull it back off just to check one number, the output of this engine isn't really "forged" necessary, but it may be in the future. So I would like to know if maybe most came with forged or if only 10 came with them. Thank you.

I have what I believe is a 700r4, it has the physical appearance of a 700r4, but the ID code on it reads 5VK124C, and the Haynes manual for automatic transmissions lists VK as a TH350c, the transmission has the 700r4 tailhousing and I don't see a vacuum port on it. Is it possible that this is just a code Haynes missed or what? Thanks in advance.

I'm looking to buy some parts from a guy and he is including a long tail th350 and many other parts for $50. I want to know how much the empty case, just the cast aluminum parts, weighs so I know how much I could scrap it for. Thanks

I need new transmission lines for my 1984 camaro, will have a 700-r4 in it. Just need new lines because the car didn't have them in it when I bought it. Or I need to know if I can just buy brake lines and bends them and put the fittings on them.

I have a diesel 700r4 I'm putting in my camaro, I want a new torque converter for it and the price difference between a 700 & 350 if like $60, but they are both 30 spline versions. Could I use the th350 converter? Also the 700 has lockup but I have no way to run it, would using the th350 converter get rid of the lockup if I can use it?

I am running a comp cams 12-242-2 hydraulic flat tappet cam, and need too know how much pressure they can take before sadness and badness occurs. My springs have about 145lbs seat pressure and 343lbs open pressure.

Was this a factory option? There were a few rpo codes that came up as unknown. I have read a few threads and some say yes others say the third gens never came with such an option.

Thanks

I am running a sbc 350 with vortec heads an edelbrock performer rpm intake manifold edelbrock 600 cfm carbs standard gasket, not thick reusable one, under the carb a 14x2" air cleaner in a generic aftermarket air cleaner for reference http://www.classicindustries.com/images/productimg... with a wing nut like the one in the picture also. my question is will this fit under a standard 1984 camaro hood????

I have a set of 1999 vortec 906 castings and I need new spark plugs as the heads did not come with any from the junk yard. I just need to know how much reach I need as the shorty plugs I had in my 186 heads aren't long enough to actually enter to combustion chamber.

If I use a used comp cams camshaft do I have to rerun the break-in procedure? I have all of the lifters labeled with what bore they go in. I have changed valve springs since it was used. the cam is hydraulic flat tappet.

I have a 350 chevy 4.001" bore 3.48" stroke, 4 bolt main. the pistons are 4 valve relief 6cc. the heads are vortec 906 castings that were off a 1999 chevy k2500. I had the heads redone for screw-in studs and guideplates. I am using stamped 1.5 rockers. the valves are 1.94/1.5 swirl polished stainless steel. the springs are 98214 with an install height of 1.749" but I have shimmed them to be 1.719" for more seat pressure. 10 degree locks and retainers. edelbrock performer rpm intake. edelbrock 600cfm carb no choke everything else is stock, 14"x2" filter. 50,000 volt HEI distributor. 8mm wires bosch platinum plugs. standard GM water pump electric fan. 1 5/8" full length headers. dual purple hornies 3" inlet 2 1/4" outlet. Double timing chain. and comp cams 12-242-2 cam. the compression ration is around 9.9:1 with the pistons and gaskets. also standard oil and fuel pumps, incase anyone was wondering.

I have a 1970 chevy 350 factory rated at 300hp gross. I switched to vortec heads. I want to switch to a howards cams 110991-08 or 112591-10 camshaft and was just wondering how much Oooooooohorsepower I would be making. Stock bore stock 6cc 4 valve relief pistons, 062 vortec heads with stainless valve swirl polished, 98214 springs, 10° locks and retainers, screw in studs guide plates, non self-aligning stamped rockers 1.5, 1 5/8 headers into dual purple hornies, edelbrock performer rpm intake, 600 cfm edelbrock carb no choke, 50000 volt hei distributor, proform electric water pump, electric fan, aluminum radiator, double roller timing chain, 14" 2" air filter and it's all going into a v6 1984 camaro with a th350.

I had my vortec heads milled .005 using 6cc pistons stock 3.48 stroke 4.0 bore .031 thick gasket i just dont know how much the milling effects the cc on the heads.
