    Knocking sound with manual trans

    Keep in mind that every gear is free-spinning with the cluster at all times. Only when a syncro sleeve is moved does the particular gear lock to the main shaft to drive the output. The fact that its second gear only is strange but my guess would be another syncro not fully disengaging and the...

    What is the general opinion of doing a 440 block .060 over?

    Anybody with a 440 running the Milodon Single line external pump kit? (21002)

    Rear entry does not fit/work with 383/400/440 stock mounts. The rear entry was designed for the hemi. The side entry isn't the greatest but that's all that will work with a big block.

    Anybody with a 440 running the Milodon Single line external pump kit? (21002)

    Yes that 440Source cover is pretty and cheap ... I bought one of their pump covers a few years back and there was a lot of slop in the relief valve. I would estimate the bore to have been about .030 larger than the valve. I never ran it for fear of it bleeding off pressure. If you were going...

    Anybody with a 440 running the Milodon Single line external pump kit? (21002)

    The drain hole zyzzyx speaks of is on the other side of the pan !! Be sure to seal that with PLENTY of teflon TAPE. It is not a tapered plug and the full oil level is above that plug so if not well sealed it will leak like a seive ! ??? More photos please !!!

    Anybody with a 440 running the Milodon Single line external pump kit? (21002)

    Here are some shots of mine. The cover was made a few years back by "Muscle Motors". My headers are "Dougs" D452. The line is VERY close to the header. After these photos I swapped the straight connector at the pan for a 45* to take that big loop out of the line and to shorten it a bit. I also...

    Starting and breaking in new engine on a K frame dolly

    No need to show off !! And besides, you missed my point ... which IS: how to attach the K to the car when you have no access to the K bolt holes.

    Trashed rocker assembly?

    Huh ?!?!? Step 1) With rockers and shafts OFF, install all pushrods Step 2) back off all adjusters so only the ball end is exposed Step 3) place rockers and shafts on head - insert bolts Step 4) begin to tighten down the bolts - check each adjuster seats in the pushrod - adjust as necessary...

    Trashed rocker assembly?

    Check the timing at idle and at 2000 RPM. All the advance should be in by 2000 and in a big block 34 degrees is a safe number unless you have high compression (over 10.5:1) or really shitty gas. Trust the timing light. Use two different ones if you're doubtful. Set the ECU to match the actual...

    512 stroker piston to wall clearance opinions

    That's a piston manufacturer problem - not a machine shop problem. Poor QC by the piston mfg.. Even if the shop had measured all the slugs, they likely would have suggested you send them back. Just imagine if they'd fitted each piston to your block and at some point you damage a piston and the...

    Didn't you give the shop a piston to work with and the specs before they machined it ??

    Stamped lifter clearance

    This raises the question of how many rebuilds you may have actually done !! In ANY rebuild its recommended to check all clearances, passages, etc.. Why? Because of a thing called "manufacturing tolerances" !! Its why clearances are published in manuals !! Who hasn't ground off flashing, opened...

    Stamped lifter clearance

    What makes you guys think that the 440Source rockers have the same stamped specs as 50 year-old stockers ?!?!? The stamping dies are probably all new and material thickness that varies a couple thou would make a big difference. The simple fact remains: the OP has clearance issues. He can talk...
