problem with the engine Hey guys I have a problem with my S-10 ls1 swap
first of all when we finished the swap and hooked up all the wires and started the engine, pretty soon it stalled for no clear reason.
we disassembled the engine to see that the crankshaft is bent at the front and damaged the oil pump.
after we replaced the parts and assembled the engine, we started the engine which cranked for about 10 seconds.
when we tried to get it started again it would barely start and when we checked the spark plugs, we found that they are covered in carbon.
we replaced them but still the engine wouldnt fire.
