My experience with the stuck bypass valve was the result of a very small metal shaving getting wedged between the pump body and the valve……. Resulting in it being stuck in the fully closed position. This was a 340 with a Melling M72HV pump. The result of that was a hot idle oil pressure of about...

How many miles is that? What is the cam? Springs/pressures? Rocker ratio? Oil and weight? Oil change frequency? If you take queues from the factory…….. Milder cam profiles, combined with less spring and lower rocker ratios……. should be more reliable than the opposite. The same holds true for...

HI, about 10-15 psi at hot idle.

IMO......# 1 or # 2 rod bearing. What is the oil pressure at idle?......... BOB RENTON

Well, that was quick. Yes 833 oil change also while I was under there. I put Synchromesh in this time. What a difference. I've always had a little 1-2 clash when cold after rebuilding it years ago. I even put an entire new synchro (newer design) in when I rebuilt it. Haven't road tested it yet...

DLC is used on many items. But...going to be watching/listening for feedback. In the meantime, use the best lubricant you can get. The wagon will be getting Amsoil when I get the new bullet together. Right now since it has an appetite, $5 qt oil is what I feed it, VR1, as opposed to $12 qt Amsoil.

I've run the drill/tool CCW for about two minutes and don't feel any resistance. How long does it take to feel that. Checked the oil level and that has not gone down either. Just want to get an idea what to expect.

Another one of my stories closely related to this comment. Back in the late 70's I bought a really nice 73 2 dr Chrysler New Yorker Brougham with a transplanted 383-2 engine. It didn't run, owner said he thought there was a hole in a piston. I started getting ready to pull the engine and I...

I don't think the inquiry was vague. My reply was meant to infer that the correct amount of oil actually in the sump supercedes what a measuring stick might indicate.

I wonder what the auto honing machines use? Oil based coolant or water based? May be I'll look for a video or two. It looks like oil.

That will come out. What I would do is clan the threads with a wire brush. Soak it good with a rust penetrating oil for a few days. Then put some good heat on the cast iron. Pipe wrench to twist off. Might not be easy, but guarantee I would get it off.

Guys zinc is your last line of defense. If you’re worried using up the zinc in your oil you need better oil. Search out the oil with the highest psi oil film thats what matters first. As to zinc additives. Your oil filter filtering your zinc additives is a null point. If you’re using a good oil...

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

Day 2700 is Wednesday, December 18, 1968, So if it was a production line install it would be for a 1969 car. Any numbers on the pan rail or the bell area by the oil sender?

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...

Law in California requires oxygenated fuel. Alcohol is not required, but it's what the oil companies use to meet the rules. The only non-alcohol fuel in california that I know of is non-street legal leaded race gas. (Oops, not counting Avgas) I do know of a station that sells 100 octane...

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.
