What a moron moment. One cover is upside down. (thanks dadsbee for letting me off the hook)
I still have an issue at the oil pan and front cover that is bare after cleaning the gasket surface.
Thanks again.
Pretty much a bolt in. Oil pan will most likely work depending what the later engine is from, at worst you can swap pan from the original engine. I had a 64 Dodge with a later 318 swapped in but I didn't do it myself. The later engine will bolt right up to the original push button automatic in...
What is the set part number? What is the bearing shell part number? I also see a shadow of the oil hole in the bearing in the cap. Do both shells have oil holes, or do you have them installed wrong?
Kendall sponsored me but if they did not i would still buy the oil out of packet from what i learned from old timers to find my oil now is hard so when i find it i but 2 to 3 cases of it.
I see these TV mechanics smelling and actually tasting the oil off the dipstick. I suppose you might be able to smell a burned smell. What the heck are they trying to figure out by doing this and what gives off a red flag in the smell and or taste?
Hi guys. Here's a new one for ya.
New peformance build. 3500 stall, transgo kit, installed a stand alone cooler and kickdown cable adjusted. Here's bullet point procedure
- 8 litre initial oil fill after 1 litre in TC
- startup and warm for say 5 mins
- check oil in N
- bit low.
- Top up...
The plugs were a NGK -5 heat range.......plugs were very similar in appearance to those in my Stihl lawn and leaf blower, and spot on identical to my LawnBoy running 93 octane and synthetic oil at 50:1 ratio at a steady 4000 RPM @ ~ 12.75 A/F. Cuts grass all day long and never misses a beat...
I just put 10w-30 in my 1969 383. I’m not sure whatoil was in it before but I didn’t seem to have any issues. I hooked a mechanical gauge up and the line filled with oil and held 75 at cold temps. However, when the engine is cold now at idle I hold 28 pounds and the oil line to the gauge won’t...
I believe on a factory OEM oil pan, the "full" mark on the indicator falls near the top lip of the oil pan. So in theory, if you measure how much water it takes to fill your oil pan to the top, you'll have a good idea of it's capacity.
That said, I've heard some say the purpose of the deeper...
So now that I'm over the shock, I still want to find it. With heads and water pump off, how can I pressure the system to check for the intersect? Run the oil pump with some cheap oil and look for leaks somewhere?
Would be nice if I could pressure the oil system with say 30 psi of air and see...
I would go with what the manufacturer put in the compressor for use. These systems are not very large and linesets and evap/condenser are about equal sizes. If you add too much oil in, it will degrade the cooling capability.
Is there a sticker on the compressor? It states oil fill.

I am using an Earls branded relocation kit, Holley owns them so I go it with another order.
That is correct, when I first noticed that there wasn't any oil pressure I unscrewed the filter and oil sprayed out with some force. I was surprised by this because the handheld wasn't showing...

covers whatoil does in the pan & running
they did cover the pick up height slightly IIRC too
adding extra oil, is not a great idea in many cases depending on the pan
you can get bad windage &...
This is a Used Oil Pressure Gauge Sending Unit. It is for
a oil pressure gauge, not a idiot light. I can no longer
remember what year or model this one came out of, but I'm
sure it worked or I wouldn't have saved it. $15.00. Local
pickup, or buyer pays shipping.
