A friend's daughter has a low mileage survivor called me about starting it after 15 years without a start. I told her to change the oil and she asked: What kind? I grab whatever is handy, but it being someone else's car, I hesitated. I've never given any thought or research. I said 10-40...
Yesterday:
I enrolled in the "Jersey Jesus's" online body and paint academy. The D100 is in epoxy.
Today:
Rear differential gear oil change, and 10 points awarded for what the pics show:
:lol:
Can someone explain to me how the filter is to blame for the pump not priming?
Exactly what is malfunctioning in the filter?
If you removed the filter completely, would the pump not pump oil?
I'm told these are getting hard to find and it's just sitting in my garage. In good shape , very slight surface rust starting. Shipping would be from 53034. $200
Just an FYI it's a NON HP version (no baffles)
I have no clue , I get the no baffle part but what does it mean ? Thanks ...
Removed and disassembled my oil pump. When installing new O rings I see the packet says:
".078 thick, large O-ring is ONLY for stock factory and Melling M63HV pumps.
Thinner .065 is ONLY for Milodon 21814 21815 pumps"
Well I disassembled the pump entirely which I am regretting. Pretty sure...
Nope. Have you ever actually installed a mech oil pressure gauge ? On your, or a customers, car ? I'd like to know where vibration will cause the copper line to crack and break. I wonder if you know what to do to avoid that condition.
Which engine? Whatoil pan? You're probably better off to mock it up, put measured water in it and check the stick until you get to the 5,6,7,8 quarts required.
Once you're happy, dump the water, fill with cheap oil. Check it, adjust as needed, dump it and fill again. A little distilled water in...
Ever watch an oil sight glass for a sleeve bearing where you increase flow and pressure and all of a sudden it starts foaming? I have. No foaming at lower flow and pressure. Does the same thing happen inside an engine? How do you know? Like I said, talk to a tribologist if you want to get...
"If your entire oil supply is so coagulated"
That is not the level that is required to cause a large filter oil bypass condition, what is needed is just enough to block the filter media.
And what will flow thru bearings I believe in most cases is much larger than what most filters will...
I don't know what the bearing clearances are. I had the machine shop assemble the rotating assembly. Nor does the 440 source website mention whether or not the bearings are grooved. If I idled at 1200, then it would be at a more reasonable pressure.
There is a washer and a clip on top of the seal, I can't see any dirt getting in there, but I can see oil leaking out. I go with what I think is right, so I install them lip down. I have not worked on a lot of transmissions however.
The car had everything either rebuilt or replaced including a color change on paint. Originally power steering/ brakes. In the process I replaced all wiring at mechanic shop.
440 stroked, aluminum heads. New spindles Wilwood discs in front, new drums in rear.
The car just seemed to”linger” at...
Ask Charlies what the oil pan capacity is. Install pan, put quoted oil amount in engine, and adjust dipstick tube length until the "Full" mark matches oil level in pan.
I’m no Mopar expert but I think the oil dipstick goes into the 440 block right behind the left side motor mount. Mine has a threaded plug in that location. I’ve never seen a threaded hole for the dipstick tube.
What gives?
