    Will coolant in the combustion chamber cause fuel and oil to not burn on start up?

    Rick we all know you like cucvs totally stock,but not all of us have as much experience with these as you do.Gauges help keep the uninformed informed.If this guy had a temp.gauge maybe the head would not have cracked.And if he had an oil pressure gauge he wouldn't be worried about bottom...

    Will coolant in the combustion chamber cause fuel and oil to not burn on start up?

    If you have 10-20lbs oil pressure at idle and 30-50lbs at cruising speed your bottom end is probably fine.If you have excessive oil consumption(not leaks)you may need rings.I would do your heads and go from there.

    Fresh resto M1009 383 Green/Tan interior

    The OP restores and builds these trucks for a living,and personally I think his cucvs are the best,I think he was just looking for an honest opinion,and that's what I gave.I had no intentions of insulting him and hope I didn't.

    Fresh resto M1009 383 Green/Tan interior

    I love your trucks and hope to own one someday.But that tan is a bit bright with the green,I would like to see a darker tan.Black is hot in summer but it would match rest of trim better.
