Collapsed Lifters 95 GenV Big Block
Yes,I love this body style and will keep both of ours running as long as I can.I will for sure post a pic of the installation.For having over 276,000 miles on it my old burb still makes me feel good driving it and I get compliments on how it stands occasionally.I'm also a big block fan,I've had...- grampadirt

1997 Suburban dual AC question
I use a white orifice tube,others use different colors for their reasons.That brass part is an expansion valve and is used for the rear a/c and is behind the panel on the right rear of your burb.- grampadirt

Faster to use polys,I got tired of ratcheting the regular nuts.When I replace the valve springs it will be faster & easier,that's the theory anyway :)- grampadirt

There was about 3/8'' stud showing so I thought that would be enough.After I drive the Burb about 100 miles I'll do the new valve springs & polylocks at the same time.- grampadirt

Just ordered a set of Polylocks from Summit,had one adjusting nut back off and scared the shiit out of me.,engine ran like crap.The only thing I could think of to do was to add a jamb nut to it,is that wise?- grampadirt

Collapsed Lifters 95 GenV Big Block
Did the new lifter break in today,ran the engine @2,000 rpm(+or-300-400) for twenty minutes,then let it settle down to a nice idle.Seems to run nice & smooth with no lifter noise.So tomorrow I'll change the oil again to my regular 10W-30 Castrol Conventional.GOT MY BURB BACK!!! Time will tell if...- grampadirt
