just took the lo3 out of my camaro and put it in a buddys truck he had a 91 truck lo3 that his wife put a quarter sized hole in one piston and melted a bunch of another to a cylinder wall (nice huh but hey I found some one to sell my old motor to)
we kepted his heads he got a new cam (I don't know the specs told him to get one similar to his origional flat tappet) I kept all my roler crap, re ringed the motor (don't know why after 200k miles you could still see the crosshatching I love mobil one) new gaskets put it together broke in the cam timed it and adjusted the valves all at once and it is running like crap idles real rough (hole engine shakes some times he says) and has little power I put together a win aldl cable and brought it over to his house only to findout his laptop doesn't have a serial port so we hooked it up to his desk top I don't know enough to interpert the data very well
Questions:
1 BLM like 110 108 = very rich right?
2 in the knock counts is a one bad?
3 what is drp occured?
4 what else can I look at with out driving it around?

Thanks for any help you can give me

yes, that is very rich. probably enough to actually stall the engine at idle. It should be around 128. Was that in closed loop or was the engine cold? There is a flag data for it in WinALDL. Try lowering the fuel pressure or maybe advancing the timing just a little.
No. I believe the ecm actually forces knock at certain points-but I can't remember why or when. Where did you get the knock counts at (i.e. rpm and MAP)?
Sorry, but I'm not sure on this one.
You can check for any error codes and flag data. I forget what else, as I don't have my labtop right now.

You could always try to find a power inverter and hook the pc up inside the truck. You would really only need the tower, as you could disconnect the monitor after you start the WinALDL, and then reconnect it when you get back. However, this is just a suggestion, and personally, I would NOT do it.

 

it was warm in closed loop and there were no other error codes or flags
my worry is eather the valves are to tight or we wiped the cam
thanks for your help
