i am using a rear sump oil pan on my 5.7 but the dipstick on the side will not work because the plate between the pan and the block dosent have a hole for the side dipstick since i have already assembled the engine is there a way to cut that hole without removing the pan?

i totally agree i purchased a diablo sport scanner from chris when i bought the hotwire system but im not really very good with it im looking for a laptop based program to buy that may be easier to use

you are absolutely correct i mistakenly said i have a mass airflow sensor when i actually have a map sensor and i did email chris about the problems and he suggested i disconnect the battery to reset the computer and see if it helps the problem. also the white smoke disappeared when it warmed up...

can anyone suggest a laptop scan program for use on a genIII hemi swap. im looking for something that i can use to read codes and monitor systems without all the other junk that comes with the universal programs.

one thing i forgot to mention is when it was idling rough and backfireing i notice both exhausts were puffing out white smoke i had never seen that before

yes they were only in there for about one month and maybe six starts

they are both a bronze or gold color very little difference in color from the new ones i put in

well i have listened around all the manifold and vacuum and the injectors and dont hear any odd noises and i checked all the fuses and they are ok what confuses me is when this happens if i remove and replace both o2 sensors the backfire stops and the engine idles smoothly but it has happened...

i have a car stethoscope i will do that and see if i hear any leaks

if im right there are only two vacuum ports on the 5.7 one in the rear of the manifold and one in the top front any others that i should look for?

hmmm that is an interesting idea possibly the vacuum leak just occurred and thats why the problem just popped up i will have to run thru all the vacuum hoses to see if one is cracked or come off but let me ask you this if there was a vacuum leak and i changed the sensors and the problem no...

well you got me there im not sure about heaters in the o2's i did not know there were heaters for those the harness is from hotwire so i assume they may be there somewhere i checked fuses and do see any bad ones in the fuse block i think the code was po139 bank one sensor 2 or something like...

no the plugs look good i guess i should have provided some history when i originally built the car two years ago the motor was a new crate motor and until just a couple months ago the engine ran great no issues then this rough idle thing started and when i ran a scan on the car it showed the o2...

yes i do have a mass airflow sensor and the o2 sensors are located just in the front end of the header collectors

i have a fuel pressure gauge at the fuel rail and it is reading between 57 and 58psi when engine is running and i have read that that is the proper pressure for a hemi
