That's how I lost the 440 in my Hurst 300. Ran great, but ended up taking out the oil system. I was a dumb kid, and hadn't taken the valve covers off. Didn't know what the chunks were, in the drain oil.

Was dropping my third member to change gear ratios, (489 case, sure grip) While wiggling the case to try to clear the mufflers this fell to the floor. Any idea what it is and where it goes? Covered in gear oil so it did come out of the pumpkin. It is not threaded. Thx in advance.

Hi Guys, I have a 64 Polara running an Indy 528 Street Legend Hemi. It is has Milodon Deep Sump 7 quart oil pan with the Milodon big block mopar dipstick with flexible tubing. During standard oil check maintenance, the dipstick connected with something and the last 3 inches of the dipstick...

Is there a reason for an oyster type oil pick up opening as apposed to a boxed opening like the one below in the second image? It seems the stock oyster type has very small reservoir provisions to hold oil? Am I correct? Does the shape depend on the types of baffles/trap doors that the oil pan...

Are you looking for a 6 pack and an oil pan, or just the oil pan from a 6pack car ? Sorry for the stupid question, I have 6 pack that I am trying to figure out what to do with. Thanks Frank

many of my cars are converter to roller cams, and oil changes on them still are not cheap when using synthetic oil. cost wise you would need to take the difference in costs of the oil changes and figure how many oil changes to make up the difference. I really just chose the cam type by what the...

Macdon, i like your idea, can you tell me what oil based flat clear your useing?

New to using an oil pan without provisions for dip stick. At what point on the inside of this oil pan is oil level full. Thanks in advanced, Larry

What pan is it?

So I’m asking this question because I’m wondering what are some of the details of let’s say the Chrysler LA small block that makes it different than a GM small block from the builders perspective. Can a Chrysler guy build a good GM engine and can a GM guy build a good Chrysler engine? This when...

This is a "Shadow" Racing mopar/W2 block, is claimed to be from the decades ago Can Am racing series. A bunch of the engine stuff is being sold as a lot. I am trying to figure out the two blue AN fittings in the oil filter area. The large center one's purpose is obvious. The smaller not so much...

There is no other oil hole !! What is your expectation ??

Quaker State oil came from Pennsylvania, where oil was first discovered and commercially pumped and refined, at a town called TITUSVILLE .....the Drake Oil well..... The city was a major hub for oil transportation and refining after the world's first commercial oil well was drilled nearby in...

Yup, I did an engine rebuild years ago for exactly that. Yes, you can, and should remove the oil pan. You can swing the centerlink out of the way to remove the pan.

The oil might just have assembly lube mixed in. Unless you're running super rich? Make sure timing is really advanced during break in. You should be fine running it anywhere between 100-500 miles. But I agree cutting open the filter is a good idea. (Use a good filter, wix, Baldwin, fleet guard...

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...

What is the vin number on it? This is supposed to be on the Left side, rear of block, near oil pan flange; per the 70-71 parts book.

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.
