    Sudden oil loss, max wedge clone

    Took the 63 Polara to a show 70 miles away. Checked oil before we left as I always do and it was fine. Car ran fine on the way there. On the way home my wife said she thought she smelled oil burning at a traffic light. I figured it was another car in front of me. Noticed slight vibration...

    Not so good vibrations...

    Now that I actually have the max wedge tribute so I can drive it (thanks to help from people in this forum) I had serious vibration starting at around 2000 rpms and above that felt like the door panels were going to fall off LOL.

    Engine paint failure

    I recently bought a few cans of OER Classic Blend engine paint because the color was the best match for my 63 wedge intake. Carefully prepped the intake, followed the instructions, and it looked great and matched the block paint and valve covers very well. However, after installation of the...

Media is dry so the only thing I can think of is nozzle size is too small? Works fine for playground sand...

    Max Wedge Valve Stem Seals?

    These are max wedge mopar reproduction heads P5007494. Pulled due to oil getting into combustion chambers from somewhere. Head gasket was fine and rings are good (all comp tests passed at least) so I am looking at the seals. Can anyone tell me if these look like correct seals? The umbrella one...

    Max Wedge Valve Stem Seals

    Does anybody know the correct valve stem seals to use on mopar performance 2406518-M reproduction max wedge heads? Original build lists Mahle B45403 and/or 45343 but Mahle stuff does not seem to be around any more? Rock Auto lists FelPro SS12419 for a 426 but they look different. Thanks!
