.904 bodies on SBC link bars for a 48 degree R3. I bushed the block to address an oil hemorrhage problem around the lifters.

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.

I hate Pennsylvania! I lived in Maryland most of my life. This was supposed to be a temporary investment but I'm still here after 15 or so years :rolleyes: I like Quaker Oats. Exactly! I can't remember how many vehicles I've worked on that had used QS and they were so gunked up inside. Top...

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...

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

I always used atf. Use some kind of thin oil.

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...

I may be, what do you have?

I mean for early b-body without notching the k member

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? What oil 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...

Done lots of hydraulic rollers in 440's with no noise. 1st you cannot run thick oil in the retro hydraulic lifters they are selling. 10w30 oil is what works best. With thick oil they do not operate correctly. 2nd if you are not using adjustable rocker arms you have to be very precise in...
