Thread: 02 Tahoe LY6 Swap Cylinder 3 lean?

    02 Tahoe LY6 Swap Cylinder 3 lean?

    Going turbo on a 02 Tahoe with a LY6 swap. Pulled the plugs and im being told #3 cylinder is running hotter than the rest by looking at the plugs. Any truth to this? Been running it N/A fro 2k+ miles. Also trying to find out if there is any way to trim individual cylinders?

    The plugs look the same to me.
    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    unless one cylinder has a long term drastic effect then reading from this angle doesnt mean much.
    spark plugs are read by inserting a new set, making a pass or dyno run, and then reading the inside of the plug porcelain way down inside the main body.

    From what I understand, the second plug from the left has 4ish threads that are black and the rest of the plugs only have 2 threads that are black. Indicating a hotter/leaner cylinder?

    If anything it could be an injector that isn't flowing as much as the rest. Only way to tell is as cobalt suggested. Have you replaced the injectors?
