engine issues
 

:s: ok i just put new head gaskets and arp head studs on my truck we finished and had the fuel pump timing F'd up and we fixed that but the truck has no power and it dumps black if i run it down the road my question is it theres to much fuel does it decrease in power (we didnt adjust the fuel pump when we did all the work but i was wonderin if shit wasnt right before like when we pulled it all apart none of the head bolts were torqued and came off simple as shit which they shouldnt cause they should of been 80ft pounds i was wonderin why it lost so much power though now that everything is fixed right hell when it wasnt right it had more power this is pissin me off and the fuel pedal feel like it has no travel and when i floor it goin down the road it like tops out at 50miles an hour which piss's me off cause i had it over the before its slow as :edit: right now and pissing me off :s:



:argh: plz someone help its pissin me off it make no :edit: sense to me :argh:

its dumping black smoke and no power????????

Check your air filter, if not that then it could still be your timing, how's it sound when it runs?

possibly timing. did u have heads checked while they were off?

Im taking a wild guess but Intake maybe???? But as a rule of thumb your heads compression should set at 10(min) and 20(maxium) compression, and no more than 30%(maxium) air flow threw the valves and seats. And cylinder compression for a car/truck needs at least 70 pounds of compression to fire witch his does. So I'm taking another wild guess my dad bought his truck with a flat cam but the truck sat at the previsouly owners house for god knows how long with the top end apart and the rats and squirrel crap got to the bottom end and plug up the oil pan fliter and we didn't know even after we flushed 5 gallons of diesel threw it and changed the oil. So we got it together and he drove it down the road and it had no power at a certain speed just as he is saying. I know I might be wrong but just shootin some idea's out
