poof. white smoke
about 2 weeks ago i had my timing adjusted to 16.5, 60lb valve springs installed, and 4k gov springs installed by a highly recomended local shop.
i was pulling away from a stop light, i shifted at about 3100 rpm and :argh: continuous white smoke and immediate loss of power, i thought it was my head gasket at first, but as soon as i pulled over n got out i realized it smelled like raw fuel. that made me think the timing could have slipped. the next morning it wouldnt even start. had a buddy tow it home were its sitting now. it may have nothing to do with the timing at all, im no expert. what do u think? any suggustions? ---AutoMerged DoublePost--- the truck has no fuel plate afc adjusted, bhaf. 5inch exhaust. 4k gsk, 60lb valve springs, timing set to 16.5. stock everything else.... |
Yeah, sounds like the timing slipped to me.

Re: poof. white smoke
X2 on timing. Please remember that while it could be contributed to something the shop did, most likely its a one time thing and should not reflect on the shop. I have never had one slip (knock on wood), but besides properly cleaning the shaft and using correct torque specs...your at the mercy of luck lol

thanks for the input guys,:c: ill be attempting to reset the timing to stock in about an hour.
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- it turns out it was the timing that slipped. problem solved.:rocking: |
:tu:

Happens alot with the p pump gear when you go messing with timing. They arent keyed to the shaft like a VE so its not unusual.
