95 Chevy Cheyenne but the valve covers say vortec on them. thought vortec didnt come out till 96. is it a true vortec then?
"Vortec did not come out until 96, yours was probably built late in the model year when they started changing the production line over. Unless you have fuel injection, the 95 uses a throttle body, similar to a csrb." Not entirely correct. Vortec came out in 1986 not 1996. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Vortec_engine Vortec is a trademarked name for a line of piston engines for General Motors trucks. The name first appeared in 1986 on a 4.3 L V6.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Vortec_engine
How does a vortec engine work?
The word 'vortec' is the name of the cylinder heads used in Vortec Model engines in the year 96'+ The engines that use the Vortec cylinder heads are the 4.3L Vortec, 5.0L Vortec, 5.7L Vortec, and 8.1L Vortec. They were only put on Gen I small blocks. If they are any other size Chevy engines and still retain the Vortec name then it's purely a marketing name, the same goes is it is later than a Gen I engine. For example the new 4.2L I6 from GM retains the name Vortec, but it does not actually use Vortec heads as these heads were only made for OHV engines, and the I6 is an OHC engine. The Vortec heads are based on the LT1 and LT4 head after they were discontinued along with their reverse flow cooling design. It is simply an effect made in the head similar to a vortex to better atomize the fuel and air intake charge when entering the combustion chamber, it is not a different type of motor.
