*@Scotty Kilmer*~ I have an ext. cab 3door, 4x4, auto[4L60-e], 97' silverado z71 with the L31(5.7L) vortec engine (odo: ~296,000) and it recently got hydrolocked (but the engine wasn't actually started and/or ran, whilst the oil was saturated with gas), because the fuel pressure regulator o-ring seals went bad and was squirting gas in the intake manifold ports resulting in a couple of the cylinders to be filled with gas. I drained all of the oil and changed it, as well as the filter- because it ended up being contaminated with the gasoline. Long story short, I replaced the regulator and put it back together, and now it's throwing the "dreaded" P1345(cam/crank correlation problem) after I got it put back together. I have owned it for over 4 years now and ride it daily (while having to reset the PCM codes every few minutes at times (especially if pulling harder like accelerating/passing or going up a mountain) and not having to reset the PCM codes for many miles at a time (since June 2016) and the check engine light never has came on until after I got it put back together and fired it up. If I'm being honest, I figured someone may have removed the bulb for the check engine light, or it was possibly blown!😂. I didn't remove the distributor, I only removed the cap (to achieve clearance for removing the upper plastic intake manifold). However, I did find that, of the 2 distributor ears that are used for screwing the cap down to the body of the distributor, one of the earsΒ is broken off, only allowing me to be able to tighten down the rear side of the cap(nearest the firewall) while the other one was basically just setting there. It was already like that prior to me working on it, but I thought/think it could still potentially be the source of my problem. When the check engine light comes on, my truck chokes down very badly and loses all it's power. But, when I reset the PCM code, it runs perfectly fine again until it throws the code again (all while driving down the road). This truck is currently the only vehicle I have to ride. Oh, I also hooked up the PCV valve that wasn't hooked up. Not sure if anything like that (vacuum related) could/would be able to generate the problem?!🤔 Any suggestions would be most helpful and greatly, GREATLY appreciated. Love your videos! Keep it up 😉👍
**PLEASE FIND ATTACHED BELOW** a picture of my engine, after removing the plastic upper intake manifold, revealing that it was full of gas**
Odds are for the Hydra locking the Piston rods are probably slightly bent you could do compression test of the engine you're probably find the compression is all messed up
