    Valve stem seal for 452 heads

    Valve stem seal for 452 heads

    My valve guide look like the top image. Since it's absolutely not a performance build, I will let the valve guide as is and probably go with the positive seal on the intake and short umbrella for the exhaust.

    Valve stem seal for 452 heads

    #1 fit the intake and the exhaust. When I remove the valve, both the intake and exhaust have the #1 on them. So can I install the #2 on the exhaust anyway? Since the seal will not be attach to anything it will go up and down with the valve stem am I right?

    I have a 1968 383 engine that run 440 heads (452 casting). The head are from 1976. I need to replace the valve stem seal. I have bought a Fel-Pro gasket set KS2110 to rebuild the engine.

    Am I stupid? : Inside the front fender

    OK perhaps I am stupid and did not check properly, but is there a inner wheel housing inside the front fender on a 1973 Charger? I mock up the front fender and it look quite empty and open. I wonder if I am missing pieces to put over the front wheel? See image for clarity.

    73 Road Runner "Driveway Find" -- Thoughts on Value?

    The underside look clean as hell. And the rust look minimal also. As a Canadian, where all the car of those years are rusted everywhere, that's an easy fix. Motor are easier to fix than frame or body...

    Gasket set for a 383 with 902 head

    Even an hand job can be satisfying... I would test it when I bolt the heads on it and see if everything clear properly.

    Yes all the pistons look the same and are all kind of equal.

    Gasket set for a 383 with 902 head

    I though the KS2110 was cheaper, not the other way around... That's dumb, I will buy the cheaper one, it make sense.

    Gasket set for a 383 with 902 head

    I have no f**king clue... I bought the car already in pieces and the motor and transmission were at another storage. The motor was already half open, the head gasket were remove at some point and the head bolt back without it. There is a "030" stamped on the piston, so I am almost sure the motor...
