Mice are attracted to the smell of used engine oil.

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...

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.

What weight-brand oil is recommended if not 15/40?

The only differences between a B and a RB is deck height and distributor hole. The oil pan rails timing cover and rear seal are same on B and RB's. Don't think oil pump drive is difficult. Tell what is else is different?

Just got done rebuilding a 70 833.What type oil should I use,Synthetic or mineral.Oem style syncro rings. Thanks,John..

I recently had my car at a garage for a leaking oil pan gasket. Later I realized the dip stick for the oil was missing it used to be orange and I thought longer but the readings were correct. I have a 1971 Plymouth 440 Super commando. The garage says they don't have it! I ordered a new one thru...

Pump drive failure is usually connected to crap seizing up the pump. From my experiences. It would have to be a pretty soft drive for it to fail from turning a pump IMO

Thanks. just putting this back out there as a shitty last resort - has anyone cut these off in the car before? Dutch - It's seriously getting to that point. On another note, what is the best way to lube these up with penetrating oil? Is the sleeve completely hollow to the stud? The...

Has anyone encountered any problems with oil temps using the 45 deg adapter on a 6.4 swap due to lack of an oil cooler? I have a 45 deg filter adapter ready to be installed but I’m now considering getting the 90 deg adapter with oil cooler fittings. I assume the 6.4 came with a cooler from...

My 65 Satellite has a 413 bored out to 426 CI. Street Wedge, rebuilt with hardened seats, etc. What would you choose for a new oil filter, and oil too?

Not familiar with block filler, I will need to research that. Did this affect the cooling?

Do what I do. I was given a couple cases of oil when a friend sold his jet boat and didn't need it any more. I'm determined to use it. So I throw in one quart per oil change on the street/strip cars (8qt cap), and the diesel trucks.(10-14qt cap) Straight 50wt. 20 quarts to use up...... thick...

Took my 68 Charger R/T out for a drive and the Tach immediately went pegged and never went back. Got to the car gathering location and spent a few hours. Then when I left I notices My tach needle bounced to past 8 and back to 0 and stayed there, my fuel, oil, & temp gauges weren't working, plus...

.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...

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...
