Pretty sure there is no oil at exhaust side of the heads where it would leak past a head gasket but that is what it looks like. Any chance the oil came out of the valve covers? Ive seen oil get pushed from front to rear by the cooling fan before. Good luck regardless.

I don't remember the exact name but 1990 vintage ford frontwheel transaxles used a long 5/16 hex shaft to drive the oil pump. With the converter out you can just pull them out. I used to snag them from the core pile at the local salvage yard, gave several to my buddies.

My bad

BTW.. that's a LA Roller block.. LA block with factory roller cam provision like a magnum.. can run a roller cam and oem lifters, very nice setup... i just bought a 85 block hoping it was roller but nope. They are not easy to find.

Vegetable oil I think.

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, Mrs. 69/70 Plymies

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

I have never used copper line on a car. But we used to use it for coolant lines on machine tools. I have personally seen it fracture due to vibration from chatter.

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...

Benchracing every topic possible is what this forum is all about. But we just may be overthinking this one a touch, FMJ. It makes sense to me that deeper the pan is, and the more oil it carries, the further away from the bottom of the pan the pickup can safely be. The extra 1/8” also gives...

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...

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...

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

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.

That's normally what I would do but in this case, I cannot afford all the parts for assembly at the moment and didn't want the block to get any surface rust forming. This engine sat outside on a pallet for a long time before I bought the car, which had been disassembled by a local shop. Right...

Okay, if so, what stops the cam from contacting the plug at the bell housing end? The cam button stops forward travel but what stops it rearward ?

67 charger 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...

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...

Pressure differential is what opens the bypass valve. That differential could be caused by restriction due to clogged filter media. If your entire oil supply is so coagulated that it is causing the filter to bypass 100% your oil is not going to pass through the bearing clearances either and...
