KD, refresh my memory, since posting about the lower oil pressure, have you switched or shimmed the relief spring?

1 - The good news: you can put the cam timing just about anywhere you want when decreeing the cam. 2 - The bad news: the manufacturers aren’t compelled to actually make them right, because of #1 above.

I wasn’t going to bring it up, but glad you did. The side load stress, particularly when going diagonally bolt to bolt with a chain with a flat angle, is incredible. Far more likely to snap than 4 - 5/16-18 bolts in tension.

Had one of those. Sold it. To each his own.

I think tensile for 5/16-18 gr.8 is 7,800 lb. Like Mike pointed out, proof load is 6,300 lb. To the OP, use what you like, but there is no reason to be concerned about the bolts.

If there was such a balancer, one that had the necessary dimensions to work, except the timing mark off 15 degrees, we would hear about it weekly on every Mopar forum out there.

Good. Check and measure the balancer. Then you’ll know for certain, and can take the next step with confidence.

1. It is not possible to put on an incorrect balancer. 2. The balancer outer ring could spin. 3. I don’t know if a screwdriver in the plug hole is very accurate. The piston does not move much +/- 1” either side of TDC. 4. 1” is 15 degrees. It doesn’t explain why you need 40 degrees for...

Is the piston 1 inch down in the bore at TDC, or is the Balancer off by 1” from the TDC mark?

Did you use a piston stop or a dial indicator with the head off. How did he check?

I really don’t understand what you did to come to this conclusion. Please elaborate on what you did to establish true TDC and the evidence that it is incorrect by 1”.

You answer was in post #4.

You already have your answer over there.

You need to adjust that tach :)

It puts the attaching point in the correct location for both manual and auto transmissions.

Thanks. Yes, it was an opton. "Deluxe" wheel covers. $21.30 When I stepped up to the 15s, I went to Magnum 500s too. I think it looks good w/ the Magnums, but I miss the hub caps, and they enhanced the sleeper look, IMO. As pictured, the car ran 11.70s at 120. I think there is a way 14"...

Hmmm. It seems like I'm always rowing against the current. I guess it depends on which "original" dimension you want to hold, as you cannot match the original tire dimensions with a P series tire, I think. For me, the most important dimension on that big ol Charger is the tire diameter. A...

They will fit.

Sounds like maybe manifolds will be best for you. But you’ll still need to open the hood.
