To much compression?

Asked by Nathan41080 Feb 23, 2021 at 05:03 PM about the 1998 Chevrolet C/K 1500 Cheyenne Extended Cab 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My brother has a 1998 Chevy 1500 with the 5.7L
v8, the motor only turns over vary slowly (even
shattered a starter gear), but when the spark plugs
are removed it turns over just fine, put the plugs
back in and again will barely turn over and strains
the starter? What could it be ?
