stock oiling thru cam bearings no fulltime oilng, holes in bearing mathes holes in the block. TF240 heads. When i hade the shaft off and primed the engine it shot oil thru the oiling hole in the head to the front fender of the car, so there is oil coming. Oil is a 20W-50. But when i burned the...
OK! Good. Let us know what you find. As mentioned, you have enough oil at this point. I like the 20W50 oil in warm weather. In fact I use 15W40 in my snow plowing truck all year round. It has a somewhat worn 413 and holds 70 PSI when cold.
I would use the Driven BR 40 (10w-40) break-in oil. the BR 30 would be OK too, just might have lower hot oil pressure at idle. Not sure what the engine builder gave you, maybe MOA (Motor Oil Additive?) that would be used with a conventional motor oil. Don't use any additional additives with a...
As explained, when using the rope seal, that knurl pulls the oil IN as the crank spins in the normal direction, preventing leakage while allowing the oil in that area to do its job lubricating.
Driving my '68 Charger (383 ci) home last night and all of a sudden 1 backfire and then another huge backfire and a big cloud of black smoke out the back! The engine immediately dies and I'm able to pull off the highway. I check for fuel, spark, and crank it a couple of times and more backfire...
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.
$10.00. Local pickup, or buyer...
Guys, original engine/trans was missing from my 68 when purchased and am putting a 67 dated engine together. In the listing for a 68 convertible here, I noticed the oil pan was stamped 402. Is that OEM correct and are there any other number pans that will work with no problems, thanks
What you're asking is irrelevant. The real importance is the amount of oil in the pan. The dipstick/indicator should be tailored to the actual, and correct, volume of oil.
451 on the topic of break in oil, I’m deciding on what viscosity and brand. My engine builder included 2 small bottles of a mix to add to I believe the oil Mabye it’s gas? With this additive I should not buy break in specific oil correct? As for brand I was interested in either royal purple or...
Before Los Angeles became known for its film industry, it was a significant center for oil production. In 1892, Edward L. Doheny discovered the first successful oil well near what is now Dodger Stadium. This discovery led to the Los Angeles Oil Field becoming the leading oil production area in...
I changed the oil and filter on my 440, recent build with a new pump, Wix filter. Started it up, no oil pressure. Scared the crap out of me, pulled the filter, pulled the pump. Couldn’t find anything wrong, got out another filter, half- filled it with oil, put it all back together, started up...

So.....I replaced the oil filter hoping I'd get lucky. Yeah right. I went for a ride and about a mile from I house, here comes the squealing sound again. Came home and I used a stethoscope to help pinpoint the noise. When I touched the timing chain cover, WOW, I can clearly hear it. I...
