Busta Nut Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 More stuff came out the exhaust...... ...only this time we got some insulation type stuff...... Beginning to believe the exhaust is plugged up......too much back pressure..... 2 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 This is what came out of mine. Rust, misc, and rat bait: 4 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Yikes, the whole no wanting to rev up plus the crap that's still coming out the exhaust pretty much tells you she's clogged up, those mufflers do make cozy homes for vermin... 2 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I would say she's plugged up, after all the shit that was in the engine and the came out the tail pipe I would cut it off at the down pipe. 5 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 You can verify this by doing a running compression check. Emissions with high CO would indicate a restricted exhaust. 3 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 With all the shit in the exhaust I don't think he has to look into it as far as hooking it to a machine. 2 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Just cause shits flying out the pipe doesn't mean its still plugged either. It could be.. but maybe not. Takes 5 minutes to do a running compression test. Takes 10 to emissions test it. Takes much longer to fab an exhaust on an assumption. If you have the tools, use em. That's all I'm sayin. 4 Quote Link to comment

Busta Nut Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Well....not sure I really need to do that.... .......when I open the throttle.....gas shoots out at me and it won't rev up.... ....not to mention the amount of bedding that's being blasted out of the exhaust.... Let's get sidetracked for a sec..... I have this engine that a buddy wanted me to check out...see if it runs.... 2 Quote Link to comment

Busta Nut Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 The carb won't suck in any gas....needed to keep it going with starting fluid so it pinged quite a bit....some of the linkage was missing too so the second butterfly wasn't opening. It's a runner though!! I think the owner wants the tranny back now so the L18 will most likely be up for sale. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 What do you use for your engine cleaner pre soak? Looks like it works pretty good. 2 Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 What do you use for your engine cleaner pre soak? Looks like it works pretty good. Not sure what you mean Jes.... .....I didn't really do much but build oil pressure in this one...... 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 He want to know what you use to clean and engine, the cleaning product, the shit you spray on the block to clean it. 2 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Simple green works really well, I used it to wash my transmission before installing it. Also great for lifting oil stains on driveways. 2 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Red Brakleen works great.... 3 Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Right now I use this spray on degreaser....it's not as good as the old stuff they use to sell here....... I'm lookin into trying kerosene......I've heard it works wonders in cleaning old ass crusty parts..... 1 Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I like Super Clean but it is getting harder to find. This Purple Power shit my wife bought me (thanks baby) doesn't do half as good a job. I was just curious. The foamy stuff you used on one of your other engines looked like it worked pretty well. Thanks Q-tip. :) 2 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Super clean is carried in stock at any O'Reilly Auto (unless you're in California, then I don't know. They have crazy laws that screw with what we can stock). 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Super clean is the shit, just don't leave it on aluminum and you have to scrub when you rinse or it doesn't come off all the way. And purple power blows 1 Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Super Clean....that's the castrol made stuff right??
