Re: our new burb

Well picked up the "new" motor today. Seemed really questionable at first sight. Looked at the truck it came out of and it showed 317xxx miles. So we will see how it goes when I start it. It's out of a 94 z71. Pressure washed it at work and it does seem to looked better then my current motor. Pulled the plugs out of both and the new motor seems overall a little better. Burns some oil but much less then mine. The old motor had a plug that was so dirty it was really hard to remove. Tons of thick black carbon caked on it. That exhaust port was pretty oily as well. Two of my old motors plugs had rust on the electrode part and were wet with water. Deff have some kinda gasket issue. Tomorrow morning I am going to a friends house to finally start the actual brand new motor in his 86 k5. Then I hope to finish mine up. Wish me luck!!
