I just use whatever is on sale 10w30 conventional oil in all my classic cars. The seal technology was not what it is today with tighter machined tolerances and newer style o-ring seal gaskets. Synthetic oils will weap in most old school engines.

What do you mean? Like you can't technically fill it 100%?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too - at cold start, I would want as minimum friction as possible. But, the shop recommended this combo to increase oil pressure. I was thinking 'if' I did run the straight 40w, then no Lucas additive as the 40w here in PA should be thick enough. But, again...

Bought an oil filter and battery for the zero turn. Been jump starting it with a NoCo pack for 2 seasons now...new battery was only $49...what the hell.

This is a OEM 1970's Twist On Oil Filler Cap. It is original, not a china knockoff, and is in decent condition, just needs a cleanup and repaint. I can no longer remember for sure what engine this came off of, but I believe it will work on small and big blocks. $15.00. Local pickup, or buyer...

The slot is in the drive gear, it is engaged with the camshaft. You won't spin anything with that slot. Take the drive gear out, and the bottom end is a 5/16" Thats what drives the oil pump. The priming tool is 18 inches long.

Thanks. That’s what I thought too. I’ve installed quartz conversion kits in E body rallye clocks and the hands pulled off easy. This second hand on this tic toc clock is really stuck on. I’ll try again today. I’ve had a small fork like tool underneath with some decent force and still no luck...

I don't see how you could prime the system using the slot on the intermediate shaft. It's geared to the camshaft. You need to remove it and spin the oil pump directly. So a 5/16 hex tool is required.

My 18 Ram 2500 Cummins you have to go through the right front wheel well inner fender access hole to even see the filter. Taking the wheel off is the easiest way to change it and oil goes all over the front suspension because there is no access from the bottom or top. What a PITA. It's a good...

I have to agree with Dwayne that if the relief valve is completly bottomed I've seen close to 200psi. Install the cup backwards in a small block and see what happens. My belief is that some oil is always bypassing. But by the time that there is a spring that holds the valve that far bottomed...

My question answered: "The windage tray is not necessary with this pan. It can be used in conjunction with minimal modifications, but is not necessary with the added oil control this pan offers."

I have always used Sunnen MAN-845 honing oil, because that is what we have at work for doing all of our blocks.

I had to rewatch Deepwater Horizon to figure it out. First some oil well facts. I forgot how accurate this movie is. No fake company names. Everything sounds accurate to me. There's two sets of pipes when they finish a well. An inner and outer. The casing is the bigger (outer) When they are...

Truck pans have a rear sump and won't work in a car....a pan from a 360 car should fill the bill.

i have a 74 charger with a 440 installed by a previous owner and am curious about what the engine originally came from. I suspect it to be a motor home or truck engine but cant be sure. i do know by the casting date that it was cast in 10-23 1970 but the stamped id numbers by the oil pan under...

My 63 max wedge clone has the over the counter Mopar electronic distributor that has the mechanical tach drive, no vac advance. The ignition box is a light gold color. I currently have an Accel 8140 coil. Wanting to replace the coil. What should I get? It's in a laying horizontal position, I was...

Just went out and the screwdriver trick worked. Snagged it with my long nose vice grips. I know it turned a bit getting it out so not sure what that did to the oil pump position. Wife is looking over my shoulder to take her to dinner so back at it tomorrow. Happy wife, happy life.

It may not be as bad as you think. I (and my cronies) recently started 5 old Mopars (2 Challengers and 3 Road Runners) that hadn't been started in over 25 years. It's amazing how few of problems we had. It was fun. I'm not going to say what we did is right, I'm just telling you what we did. The...

I currently have a fast turn ratio pitman arm on my 73 Charger there is a idler arm on it, how ever the center link is real close to the oil pan on the idler arm side. But has sufficient clearance on on the pitman arm side. I am not sure if the idler arm is the matched arm for the fast turn...
