I guess I’ll be sourcing Baldwin filters until they prove to be Chinese. I will accept other North American built filters. But will pick USA first.

Well I’ve bought my last WIX filter. Changed oil in 2016 chrysler 300 3.6L. Filter made in china. And I was dumb enough to wait 12 hrs because Oreillys didn’t have one in stock.

Check it when you get the stater on it. It maybe lowish until rings seat after run in.

The lifters are supposed to always be pushing the camshaft towards the rear of the engine. So if the lifters are sitting on the correct position on the cam with the upper cam sprocket also riding against the block you should not have to be concerned with any forward motion.

best bet for which engine to use would be a compression test. Unless you’re planning an overhaul.

Na, I believe the bottle says (946ml)

Geeze that seems like alot! I generally use around 4KG.

While I agree flat tappet cams days maybe numbered. I disagree that I could retrofit a roller for the same price. Cam core is more $, lifters more $, distrubutor drive gear change and wear issues there, cam buttons, timing set cover, thrust bearings, different push rods, then your getting into...

I lean towards, compatible with increasing they profit margins. I dont even really believe in diesel anti-gel treatments. How can a few ounces of something effect 30 gallons. I believe in #1 diesel when cold and cut that with kerosene when just plain frigid.

This is what I’ve learned though my readings. Now Im not a scientist or anything fancy just a guy that reads. If your depending on the zinc in your oil to protect your flat tappet cam, your looking at your oil backwards. Your first look should be looking at your oil’s ability to retain an oil...

I’ve heard the same. Lately I check the filter before I fork out the cash. So far all that I’ve picked up USA.

I once had a car with what I thought was a rod knock. It turned out it was a bolt backing out behind a windowed power steering pump pulley. It sure had me convinced.

My labor can’t be done in China for pennies on the dollar. But by making products overseas by labor that isn’t paid a decent wage. And it leaves American’s sitting on the unemployment line or working for less than a living wage, just to to able to compete and have a job. I do my best to support...

Wow I’ve head tale of raised block 361. 3.75 stroke with 3.91 bore?

Its not that I don’t believe there isnt any quality in them. I just feel that being a lineman they can’t outsource my job to China, so in return I try to not support products where labor was outsourced.

Ill throw in my 2 cents. With open chamber heads and pistons without quench pads I believe 9.5-1 is a better CR. I believe you need a tight quench to run 10-1 or higher. While on the dyno and you do find it to actually be pinging. Might try retarding camshaft a few degrees.

I still plan on having a factory crank re-worked. I just cant support China. Maybe S. Korea,S. Vietnam, even Taiwan. I sure it will cost even more.

I thought that it looked like huge scale rust. If its sludge, send it.

At the minimum you need to find some rockers and shafts. And then what Toolmanmike said.

Personally I think its being over cautious to pre oil. Fill oil filter and fire it up. But I got less $ in my entire car then you probably have in engine.
