skipped to the last post , I HAVE NEVER HAD EITHER GO BAD ...ran whatever kind of oil that small time sponsors would finish in the old hemi car , all 40 or 50 weight ...all kinds in the SBC, and a few diff in the 505 , now synthetic...

I thought it was only advised for only higher spring rate applications in rollers but exactly what that it is I dont know.

Assuming that it has fast acting ZDDP, that sounds to me like a good amount for a break in oil. In my opinion, I would use an oil that is blended with higher ZDDP levels and not add separate bottles of ZDDP additive. As illustrated by @khryslerkid's post above, adding ZDDP additives can be very...

Black_Sheep mentioned a harmonic balancer installer. You will need a puller as well to remove the balancer from the crank. I would remove all plugs from the block and heads before the machine work is done. Freeze plugs as well as any oil passage plugs. Some of these will be a press fit that tap...

Then you have the idiots that don't slow down no matter what! Hopefully, the oil pickup is already down in the bottom of the pan. One way to find out is to drain the oil, then drop in 2 quarts. I like to remove the spark plugs when doing this.....watch the mechanical oil gauge while using the...

Yup, going to start at the beginning. Drop the tank, drain and inspect. More than likely order a new tank. Blow out and inspect the fuel lines. Change oil, change oil in the trans, new points and plugs, wires and cap and rotor. Rebuild the carb. And the engine should fire. Radiator is empty...

I think I would try to pressurize the oil system though the oil pressure gauge sender. Making sure to block off any open oil ports.

The thrust plate locks it from going forward, the cam sprocket locks from going rearward. The cam floats there, and has a certain amount of play. According to spec

OK....."they" state that it has ZDDP levels that exceed the limits for SM oil......BUT .....WHAT are the ZDDP levels that are exceeded??? Define the limits...without any numbers, how can comparisons be made?? It's like saying how high is up?? Without numbers the information is...

This is a OEM 1970's Twist On Oil Filler Cap. It is original, not a china knockoff, and is in decent condition, just needs a cleanup and repaint. I can no longer remember for sure what engine this came off of, but I believe it will work on small and big blocks. $15.00. Local pickup, or buyer...

Maybe it’s just how you write , but it seems like you still don’t understand. The cam drives the oil pump drive shaft via the gear. The oil pump drive shaft turns the distributor via the slot. To prime the pump. You pull the oil pump drive shaft ( mark it for index.) the priming tool is just...

Good morning, Couple oil questions. I have a 67 Coronet driver with a 383 4 barrel that I bought last year. So far, I drove it around 1000 miles. I am in Massachusetts so it doesn't get driven much in the winter. 1. Do you change your oil every year? Regardless of how much you drive it? 2. What...

Any 1971 - 1980 passenger car 360 oil pan will work for the 1990 truck 360 engine in your 1973 Charger. There were two versions of the 360 car pan with a slightly different placement of the "center" sump, which is really only a concern with earlier A-bodies with respect to their K-member. You...

Well when oil samples were drawn its been found that 15/40 was used in almost all of those lifter failures. Even RAM put out a bulletin about the oil. There’s absolutely thousands of those 6.7 trucks running the correct oil with over 300k miles with zero issues but some people don’t buy the oil...

So what keeps it from pushing too far back in the engine? The oil pump gear? Because when I pushed it in I pushed it until it stopped. Which is where I'm at now.

...Stock or aftermarket? Is the clutch new? Is the clutch adjusted correctly? Is the bellhousing aligned with the crankshaft centerline? What oil is insode? Synthetic or petroleum? Weight of the oil? Fully rebuilt by what shop? Do you have a receipt and a Warranty? It shouldn't be doing...

Diesels are different animals. Low rpm, small cam, lighter springs etc.

Hardware restoration - I went with a Black Oxide treatment for all the nuts & bolts for this project. I don't know what the factory did but this is much better than painting them. Wire wheel them, de-grease them, throw them in the solution, dry, then soak 'em in any oil you want. I used ATF...

WHAT? a rear main seal leak on a mopar ?!

Hey all, Can someone please post a photo of or tell me what the connector looks like for the Fuel/voltage/oil pressure/temp? I think it's a horizontal, 5 female pin connector but I can't find it behind the cluster which is pulled. out. The previous owner ran a new harness so I'm trying to...
