looks shinier
as we all know, shinier = faster. the only exception to this is low-gloss/no-gloss stickerz. |

On a side note, I did the dollar trick on my Lumina and it didn't suck it back in, so I just have a slight misfire when the engine is cold. Probably a coil pack getting ready to bite the dust.

I finished the car last night. First thing was a lot of smoke from the engine bay from all the oil and coolant and whatever else was on the manifolds burning up. After that it was fine. Idle vibration is rough, but that might be because I messed around with the upper intkake insert and modified the runner lengths. It accelerates a lot smoother than before though, and there's definitely an increase in power from 3500-5000 rpm from before.
Also, I have a consistent and repetitive shuffling sound coming from the engine, which is louder on cold starts. Not too sure what that might be, but perhaps it will go away after I run a bottle of seafoam through the engine and change the oil afterward. There's also the exact same light clanking sound as I heard before I replaced the heads. I've been told it could be a stuck lifter, but who knows. I didn't bother to pull the lifters to check them, as I was too preoccupied with trying to get the car running again.
Any thoughts?

I haven't found the source of my clicking when the engine is cold in my car, I've decided with 251k on it; it's allowed to make some funny noises as long as it still runs fine. I thought it might be a misfire due to a failing coil, but when the engine is warming up you can hear valve rattle so I don't know... |

Well I figured out what it was. Stuck lifter. I'll try draining a quart of oil and putting in a quart of trans fluid in tonight to see if that frees up the lifter. I figure after replacing the heads with 85k mile heads, lapping the valves, and with my roller rockers in there, there's not a whole lot else that it could be. This might also explain why my idle vibration is so rough. |

Yeah no kidding. I'll try all the solvents I can think of to free that shit up before I tear the LIM, valve covers, and rockers off to figure this shit out. |

old lifters will loose thier prime too and make noise, which ATF wont fix, I like using Lucas Oil additive it helps lifters hold thier prime. I use it every oil change on my 6000 and it quieted to 240k lifters down pretty well. I use 3 1/2 quarts of 5w30 and 1 quart of lucas
