    LLY: low compression, hard starting and misfiring

    On my lly i just did a head stud and gasket job, and after this i didnt re do valve lash unfortunately when i put billet pushrods in and ran it for just a few days, my retarded mistake. now it cranks over twice before starting hard and it is only producing around 245 psi of compression on each...

    LLY: rough idle,tons of black smoke,and severe motor vibrations

    The way the turbo performs is perfect I think. And im assuming checking the valve lash on a duramax is about the same concept as one on a dirtbike?

    I was thinking the knocking could be the valves. Or maybe the pushrods since these don't have any wear on them.

    LLY: rough idle,tons of black smoke,and severe motor vibrations

    I have literally taken every plug out and checked it unfortunately... Its not throwing any codes. Also I did replace the copper crush washer on that banjo bolt and it still leaks. I went with billet pushrods while I had the heads off so I was thinking maybe the valve lash needs reset since...

    Balance rates are just fine, and where does it rub at?

    i just did a headgasket job by myself on my 04.5 lly and its back together now and running, except its very rough after the first day out working out the bugs. while i had it apart, I swapped chargers to a 68mm fleece cheetah vgt, and billet push-rods. And now for the problems listed; 1. My...

    Built Engine Plans

    billet or chromoly pushrods would be my opinion. i cant count the number of people who have built motors with stock pushrods go flying down the track and once the sled hits it the damage is done. then here comes the ticking noises caused by them bending..

    LB7: Water/Meth Setup

    It gets ridiculous but I run just Distilled water because its 95 cents a gallon and it cools the best. Its worth it so far because I picked up 2.3 mpg better. You can set my kit up to that it only sets off the injectors when you get above a desired boost level then the solenoids open. I'm...

    LB7: Water/Meth Setup

    I run a lebonte 3 injector set up that has a small injector for cruizing and 2 otuer big injectors that kick in at 14 psi. I have a stock turbo built trans truck and it really helped my egts out. Cruising at 75 on the interstate my egts are 500 degrees in a 475 rwhp tune. In my biggest tune it...

    Would my factory ic pipe work? Because the turbo came with an adapter that v bands to the turbo then couplings down to a slip on end for a boot

    Is that a bad thing? I know I'm losing my vgt part but I didn't know if this charger would be laggy on the low end or not
