Yes ,it is fouling the plugs big time and even closing the gap on some of the plugs ,I have never seen that before .Some of the gaps were barely gapped at all afterwards and I originally had them at .045 .It is smoking pretty bad on the passenger side ,any suggestions on what to check first ? Thinking about checking compression first .May be time for a little retirement for the vert ,it most likely wont go to Ohio this year .

I'd definitely start by running a compression test on all cylinders.
Wish I had time to get up there and look/see what ya got... Taking the Elky to OH??

Im guessing valve guides if it is smoking. Compression check will tell you one way or the other.

But I can't understand why the gaps are closing up on the plugs...

I agree also. Almost sounds like the plugs are to long

Should be using a common 14mm thread, .460" reach, 5/8" hex, tapered seat, projected tip plug...like the AC Delco R45TS.
Like I mentioned this morning John...check/replace the PCV valve, run a compression test, change plugs to verify using the correct ones.

Back from vaccation. Longer it has been since I did the paint the better it looks. Not that the paint got better but the fact I see the overall and am forgetting where to put the magnifying glass to see the flaws LOL.
Anyway now that I have done as much damage as I going to to the savings on vaccationing. I can finish making a order for this years junk on the chev. I got a couple more big jobs to do. Nightmare FWD engine transplant and a few smaller deals. And then I will have time to get in gear on this awhile again. I had a break from the stress of painting the jalopy. I all rested up now and ready to tackle the next projects. |

Put some miles on the Chevelle for the first time in a while!
Also played a role in what should have been a new world record Quick video - wrong orientation and not the best but I was focused on holding the line lock, not sliding sideways into either car next to me, as well as maintaining a reasonable RPM/Speed so as not to completely melt the tires off the car in Memphis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voj3-EqLJg8 My car was sitting at the Tremec tent in Birmingham, which was cool I guess. Was a PITA to get all the rubber cleaned off from Memphis though!
