TOP END REFINISHING

[Schrade]

She spun right up, second try, DESPITE:

I forgot to plug in the TPS.
Forgot to CALIBRATE the TPS.
Had the A/C head unit un-plugged.
Forgot to plug in the rear vacuum connector of the 2 at the plenum, behind the TB.
AND the vacuum connector under the TB extension!!!

I know there's air in it still - it went to about 245 pretty quick - I didn't fill with one of the coolant manifold elbows turned up...

And she's idling at about 1,250.

Anyway, still lots to do, and she'll have to wait til after Thanksgiving.

Getting the Air Out of the Coolant System

The two coolant manifolds attached to the injector housings should get warm within 30 seconds with engine running if the water pump is pumping coolant. If not......you have to get that air out of the water pump area (Air Locked Water Pump). See LT5 Air Locked Water Pump Simplified



See LT5 Radiator and Initial Coolant Fill Tricks
