Hello,

I am wrapped up in a Cadillac restoration, one 1981 Seville V8, 6 L, 368 CID, here are all the history:

And I need comments and help for make a good engine restoration. My questions are:

- where is the problem? Perhaps in these coils that I suppose are the responsible to activate the system 8-6-4?

- are the problem in the Valve guide?

- I can work without these coils completely and take out it for do the system in perpetual V8?

- Somebody has manuals to leave the motor in perpetual V8?

Thanks for your comments

The solenoids will give no problems. Re-install them. 8/6/4 can be disabled by removal of the connection to transmission 3rd gear switch. See the archives on this site for complete explaination.

Dear The Ape Man, thanks for your quick answer!

Do you think is not necesary to take out the solenoids? do you think is better to leave it without working?

Where excatly have the archives for do this "connection to transmission 3rd gear switch."? I don't find its here.

Best regards, and thanks for your help.
