Re: Help Help Help!!!

1/3 in the tank, 1/3 in the oil and 1/3 through the PCV line.

Hold on there Big guy. Do yourself a favor and save a few bucks. With each and every flush you run a risk of dislodging junk from your engine that may ultimately end up wiping out a bearing. I am the first to agree that a flushing an engine can be a good thing. I just flushed mine last night. But I also lost an 1982 Olds V6 engine by using repeated additives. (Threw a connecting rod that punched a 6 inch hole in the block!) I keep the twisted connecting rod on my desk to remind me that more is not always better.
PLEASE do like BlazerLT says and use moderation. You could be doing more harm than good.
You got your truck running good now, Right? As they say in the South, "Let sleeping Dogs lie". If you are heavily dependant on your truck and can't afford to replace it, I wouldn't experiment with it. Keep a good maintenance program going and save your money. If you start having problems, then work towards a fix.

Stop screwing around replacing things that don't need to be replaced.

What makes you think you need to replace the gasket? You've told us that the truck is running good, Right? You're gonna end up walkin' to work if you don't quit F@#*ing around with things that don't need to be replaced. Stop while you're ahead!

You sure you didn't just forget to re-connect a vacuum line while doing all of the other work. Check out the top of your engine real good before tearing it down

Re: Help Help Help!!!
i have a 91 s-10 blazer that had no oil pressure for a long time, i think i had gunk in my oil pan, then i put some seafoam in it and it cleared it right up, so i doubt that that had anything to do with your low oil pressure, my oil is always around 20 at idle and 40 while running, however you have hydrilic lifters and one of them may have bled down and caused it to knock. thats about the extent of my knowledge.

Re: Help Help Help!!!
How long has the seafoam been in it?
How much seafoam did you put in?
