Here are some pics from the last oildown. Notice how it's mostly in the #2and #4 area. Shot straight up to the hood. Valve cover was dry and so was the head below the valve cover. I also did a compression test tonight.

Dipstick tube

Here's one post I did with my setup as it took me a bit to get a good dipstick for my Vortec crate engine.
Dipstick & tube
Hey guys, i built an '88 5.7L for my k5. I put headers on it, and now trying to find a dipstick & tube that comes up from the block (pass side) and clears the headers, and also is long anough for you to reach the dipstick. Anyone else have this issue ?

Doing it again, if I had the time, I'd hunt for one of the van dipsticks, to make it even easier to access. No issues with the one I ended up with for me, but with a lifted truck, or shorter person, the truck dipstick would still be tough to reach.
#3 is the best looking plug. 8 & 5 are lean, thinking intake gasket. The others are typical Holley little on the fat side
Why are they so inconsistant ?
I think the darker plugs are the true color for the jets and metering of your Holley. The lighter colors are getting air from outside the carb.
