Not sure what it's called, but does that plastic block slide back easily?
Had that happen once, spraying some light oil around it fixed the problem for me.
I currently have a fast turn ratio pitman arm on my 73 Charger there is a idler arm on it, how ever the center link is real close to the oil pan on the idler arm side. But has sufficient clearance on on the pitman arm side. I am not sure if the idler arm is the matched arm for the fast turn...
I just use whatever is on sale 10w30 conventional oil in all my classic cars. The seal technology was not what it is today with tighter machined tolerances and newer style o-ring seal gaskets. Synthetic oils will weap in most old school engines.
I've re-read your post because I couldn't initially figure out what you're asking. But I think you're trying to determine whether the oil should shoot out with pressure in a stream as opposed to simply "flow".
Let's first discuss the rockers themselves. HS rockers, compared to other brands, are...
Hi guys.
Have another build on the go. This time a 360 LA 72 block.
Without all the details, some brief history is as follows. 10.5:1 KB, all new and machined parts. Block is one that I've had kicking around for some 10+ years. Originally it had 8:1 and mild cam. Was a short block for sure as...
This is what I was thinking, but now that I have my first trap door pan, I don't know how the oil around the pick up may act under hard acceleration. The car carries the wheels up about a whole foot, and then comes down quick, so oil is not always out back.
I mean, with a regular deep sump 7 Qt...
So what brand of oil do you use in you engines? I use the Joe Gibbs DRIVEN HR-2 High Zinc 10W-30 and it seems to be good. What do y'all think? Just some pics of my love to enjoy while we discuss this =P
What would be an acceptable sealant to lock the screw in oil pick up tube? Mine is not tight when it is in its proper location. Going another 330 degrees around isn't really going to work either, well, it could, but, the short block assembly, timing cover and water pump housing are all in...

Can someone tell me what to search for/buy if I need to replace the bushings on the end of the center link/drag link (whatever the correct name is). I have to drop it to put a new gasket on my oil pan. I’ve searched and found things that look right but nothing that specifically says...
You oil the parts after doing the black oxide process. After the oxide absorbs the oil you wipe off the excess, but they really don’t feel oily if that’s what you’re asking.
Very strange.
Do you see more oil coming out of the rockers when priming since changing the timing set?
I’m curious about what you used for a button.
Some sit on the front of the gear, some fit in the hole but are stepped, and the step sits on the gear, others fit in the hole and are bottomed...
I need the measurement of the engne oil dipstick tube from where it goes into the block to the top of the tube. Also, what is the distance from the full mark on the dipstick to the rim of the dipstick that rests on top of the tube?
Thank you,

Hi, first post here and first older Mopar :)
I have a noise, a ticking/knocking noise when i drive, specially during cruise at around 30-50mph.
What could this be?
I have enough oil in it, 20w50. Sounds harder in the video than in real life, but it resembles that of a lifter problem.
Quiet when...
What might be happening here is the additive, a compound containing Zinc, does break down, but the element zinc does not leave, except by what might be found in the filter or at an oil change.
I'll assume the following; The cam bearing holes are lined up so oil is getting to the shafts. The shafts are installed with the oil holes down in the correct location. The adjuster ball/pushrod cup were the same size. The adjustment/pushrod length is correct allowing the adjuster 2 threads out...
To add more cooking oil to the fire, here's another mention. LOL. I can see this whole thing turning into a food for thought fight. LOL.
NO NO NO!!!!! 1/4" is way too tight. Please don't set it to that.
3/8" min. 1/2" max. I shoot for 7/16"
sure 1/8", 1/4" etc will work, but here's what...
Yes, I understand, BUT pouring a little oil in a filter is not "filling it". You can't fill a filter on a BB Mopar. And I haven't done so in 55 years. Not sure what difference that would make anyway.
