What did you use for the dyno run and were you happy with the oil pressure.......

What are you using for oil filters for the 1972 440? I am using the Wix 51068 which is the long filter that is difficult to get out. Is anyone using a "shorty" filter? What's the opinion on the Wix? Thanks for any input.

Going through the Hemi engine in a car that I bought earlier this year. The oil pump is a HI Volume, but do not know what brand, only numbers on it are USA and 18. The rotors are rough from debris passing. What Melling pump should I get? The HV or HP? This is a street car, roller cam...

Well, despite all better judgements in me for building a small block stroker or a 440 I snapped on a complete aside from carb 1970 383 magnum out of a 1970 roadrunner. Hey, it was 300$ and it was a impulse buy what can I say. Thing still has oil in it and "ran when pulled". Haven't even put a...

Funny how that works they say they are garbage but mine have all outlasted the other brands and I’ve been well satisfied .. My rare dealer services though have been lack luster. I wonder how many $$ flow to various reporting companies to make their product better than others. Look at Ford they...

This is what a poly looks like with the timing cover off - the same as an LA. Replacing it with the sump in place was a pain but doable. I'd replace the crankshaft oil seal while you are there.

What weight-brand oil is recommended if not 15/40?

I recently had my car at a garage for a leaking oil pan gasket. Later I realized the dip stick for the oil was missing it used to be orange and I thought longer but the readings were correct. I have a 1971 Plymouth 440 Super commando. The garage says they don't have it! I ordered a new one thru...

The only differences between a B and a RB is deck height and distributor hole. The oil pan rails timing cover and rear seal are same on B and RB's. Don't think oil pump drive is difficult. Tell what is else is different?

Pump drive failure is usually connected to crap seizing up the pump. From my experiences. It would have to be a pretty soft drive for it to fail from turning a pump IMO

Just got done rebuilding a 70 833.What type oil should I use,Synthetic or mineral.Oem style syncro rings. Thanks,John..

Has anyone encountered any problems with oil temps using the 45 deg adapter on a 6.4 swap due to lack of an oil cooler? I have a 45 deg filter adapter ready to be installed but I’m now considering getting the 90 deg adapter with oil cooler fittings. I assume the 6.4 came with a cooler from...

My 65 Satellite has a 413 bored out to 426 CI. Street Wedge, rebuilt with hardened seats, etc. What would you choose for a new oil filter, and oil too?

Do what I do. I was given a couple cases of oil when a friend sold his jet boat and didn't need it any more. I'm determined to use it. So I throw in one quart per oil change on the street/strip cars (8qt cap), and the diesel trucks.(10-14qt cap) Straight 50wt. 20 quarts to use up...... thick...

Took my 68 Charger R/T out for a drive and the Tach immediately went pegged and never went back. Got to the car gathering location and spent a few hours. Then when I left I notices My tach needle bounced to past 8 and back to 0 and stayed there, my fuel, oil, & temp gauges weren't working, plus...

What do you guys use to add to the tank to clean your carb and fuel system. I've used Lucas as well as STP high mileage fuel and carb cleaner. I was recently told that marvelous mystery oil fuel additive would be better to use, so was looking to see what you guys thought.

Kern: Checking installed height gives you the ability to measure what your closed pressure is. From there you can measure open pressure based on your cam and verify it is what you need. But an important measurement is also to measure from the bottom of the retainer to the valve guide oil seal...

Marketing 101: flowkooler Flow, more MUST be better right? Not necessarily Kookier= cooler and that's what old car guys want So flowkooler must be the ticket for cooling woes! I never buy those type of hi-flow products for oil, fuel, coolant, etc, and don't have any cooling problems using...

Yes i did. alot more. But no oil or very little while engine was running only when i primed with a shaft and drill. Could have it running without valvecovers and didn´t get much oil on the floor :lol:

Is there such a beast? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
