    Rebuilt 5.7 vortec wil not turn over

    I know of compression but out of the blue i refused to give up and went back to the spark plug holes. With spark plugs off i turned over the engine and noticed air being sucked into the chamber from the spark plug hole. Placed my finger over the hole and it blows it out then sucks the finger in...

I did the tightening sequence for the valves 0 lash and then 1/4 turn for 2 full revs and thrn some more revs for checking...

    Trim pump hoses

    Would anyone have the part number for both trim lines coming out of the trim prump to the manifold at the transom? I looked at the volvo website and there is no diagram for those items. Engine is a 5.0gi and outdrive is a DP-SM.

    5.7 vortec oil pan gasket

    Yes Scott, its rubber by Felpro permadry. Now reading my post i ment to say also putting rtv over the gasket at both channels that cover the rear seal and timing cover before installing the oil pan. I have seen some people do it and other that don't, so i was confused.

    5.0gi to 5.7 swap

    Folks long story short i am going from 5.0GI to a 5.7. I have spoken several times to a machine shop builder and was told to swap the cam from the 5.0 to the new 5.7 if in good conditions. As stated by the shop doing so will not create a need to reflash the ECM MEFI 3. How acurate is that...
