yes azswiss exactly what I observe in video (I wanted to be quick w/ the video to prevent even more damage) also not much room to get good shot w/ camera
yes no oiling though push rods 3, & 5 and maybe 7 I do observe oil ozzing out #1
I have removed #1 push rods they are straight rolled on a flat surface and unobstructed w/ filth or sludge.
did you notice the low oil pressure prior to ignition then it builds to normal mooseman thinks as others do the oil pump pick up tubes O ring is not sealing and pump starts off by sucking air.
it sure would be easier for me to inspect the remaining odd push rods or for easyness pull head and inspect lifters.
I still haven't figured out how to remove the starter in order to lock down the flywheel.
even #ed spark plug video explains alot
This man knows what he’s doing.I’m learning remember this vehcle is new to me doing any work on. Dam even w/ a boot grabber he still ruined the wire.
Dam I always thought the white dielectric grease went on the metal connecter of SP wire
Now Andy here says it’s just for the boot.

Looks like I’ll need a flex racket & flex extension. Plus spark plug boot grabbers.
Fender liner plastic pin removal tools.
Wasn’t expecting to have to remove pass. Upper control arm.
#2 is such a PITA he just skipped over it. Not critizeing Andy he made a decent video.

Now this man seems a bit smarter he acess’s #8 & #6 though the fender liner flap. my van has the same flap for all plugs.
Those dam liners never go back on the same as taken off.
I think on #6 he used a universal joint at the spark plug socket and a extra long extention
( have a 3/8 universal) not sure what he used for #8.
#4 outside flap long extension w/ universal at socket. w/ upper control arm still attached.
As slick as this man was he also cut short #2 he left me w/ yes remove air box and washer resolver (as mooseman says) then go in though the top.
Additionally:
When the flap is lifted, I see a nipple I believe there’s a flap hole that slips over said nipple to hold it up outtof the way if true (good work GM designers)
Is it absolutely necessary to have the heat shields mine has nun?
I'll get back on it and report back.
