Hey guys I just purchased a truck from my buddy. A 1989 Chevy Silverado 4x4 stepside w/350. Nice truck. He just had the headgaskets replaced. Well recently he noticed it running rough and thought that he had a weak #5 cylinder because that one plug was oil fouled. I purchased the truck tuned it up, changed the plugs and it runs pretty good, but today it acted like the starter was dragging...Rara...ra...ra. Then it starts and a cloud of blue white smoke filled my street. The smoke settles down but increased dramatically on accelleration. Pulled the plug and it is completely covered in oil. Crankcase oil looks good but dark. I think I blew a headgasket at the oil galley. Is that possible? Truck runs pretty smooth and has power just smokes like the mosquito guy...
I'm going to give her a comp test tomorrow. I think what is happening is when the engine is at idle not much oil if any is getting in but once the RPMs come up the cylinder is sucking in oil from the return galley. Has anyone seen this before?
