Piston Slap: Deffo Not Your Father's Oldsmobile! (Part II)

Paul writes:

Hello Sajeev,

This is my second time writing in about my Oldsmobile. I solved the cooling problem with a mechanical fan, however now I am having another problem. As you may recall I swapped in a ZZ4 GM Performance 350 CI motor, and now it will “diesel” for awhile after I shut it off. It only does this after it has had a chance to warm up. Do you have any ideas for fixing this?

Thanks,
Paul

  • Master Baiter "...it will have to walk the line between progress and appealing to its customers...." Yeah, some of us troglodytes refuse to recognize the "progress" that is a vehicle that dies after 200 miles, takes 45 minutes to charge, if you can find a charger, and costs 30% more.
  • Pig_Iron If it's not hurting anyone, what's the problem? We have a lot bigger problems to deal with like the failure to prosecute the 5-29 insurrectionists. ✌
