Suburban & a Blazer....all 350, with exception of a 327....The reliability & simplicity, not to mention twisting wrenches on 6 cylinders, will never go back to 8 cylinders......I'm sure there's arguments verses 6 over 8, and vice versa, and in the end its a personal choice but a Chevy 6 is surely hard to beat, regardless of the cubic inches....Yup....theses trucks are thirsty but its part of the joy of owning them..... | | | | | Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 491 Unconventional Thinker | | Unconventional Thinker Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 491 | Life finally allowed me to do the compression check on this engine.
#1 160psi
#2 160psi
#3 160psi
#4 164psi
#5 151psi
#6 155psi
I think those are good numbers for an engine with 155k on it.
Cranking oil pressure 30psi. This just may be a good engine.
