    Help setting timing and vac advance

    First timer setting timing up…. Decided to replace my mechanical advance distributor with the vac advance unit below from Jegs. My plan is to adjust the mechanical advance of the distributor to about 20 so I will have 16 initial and 36 total and keep the 2 silver springs so timing is “all in”...

    Stupid Oil Pump Spitting Oil Now

    Just got the power steering box to quit leaking and now the oil pump is spitting oil everywhere. Looks like the seal from the pump to block is compromised. Used a brand new Fel Pro gasket with Hi tak. Bout 60 miles on the new build. Guess I don’t really have a question just always something man!!!!!

    Schumacher SB to BB Biscuit mount not fitting

    Same mounts with a standard Melling pump (which is also leaking right now). It was close but not as close as yours. What brand pump are you running?

    Adjust curve 440 Source distributor?

    Actually does matter quite a bit. I bought this as the quickest easiest cheapest way to get this motor running before winter.

    Adjust curve 440 Source distributor?

    Bought a 440 Source distributor and need to reduce the curve from 25. Did not come with paperwork and haven’t heard back from 440 Source in weeks. Can anyone point me in the right direction to change the curve? Billet Distributor - RB Engine

    Engine now smoking after new valve seals

    Just took it out and it’s running great no smoke! Just needed to be burned out. It’s been so much time and money into this new setup I’m paranoid about everything haha! Thanks all

    Engine now smoking after new valve seals

    I’ll get it up to temp today. I know I got some coolant in the cylinders when I pulled the heads. I cleaned them out as best I could. Figured it would have burned out quickly though.

    Engine now smoking after new valve seals

    I did. New gasket with rtv between the block and valley pan and rtv around the intake ports between the pan and intake manifold.

    Engine now smoking after new valve seals

    Just cranked it up again, idle was sticking to about 900 but then after I revved it up a few times idle jumped to 2,000. Looked like white smoke but hard to tell in the garage light while it’s dark out.

    Thank you for the info. I’ll run a compression test and have to look up how to run the cooling test. I have no concerns regarding the head gasket install but was definitely easier with the block on the stand versus in the vehicle.

    Funny you say that, I labeled the valves with sharpie before I sent them out 1-8 and when I got them beck he put them back in opposite odds were in even and vice versa.

    Nothing has changed other than the valve seal bosses were cut lower and narrower then new seals installed by a machine shop and built back up by them. White/grey smoke out the tailpipes, pretty thick smoke too. Definitely doesn’t seem like steam.

    Engine now smoking after new valve seals

    Yes sir e Bob. Oil pressure was at 42 but idle was also super low. I was having a tough time adjusting it. Seemed like the idle adjust screw wasn’t even working. My mixtures screws are both out 1 3/4 turns. I would try to crank idle up it kept wanting to be low like 500 rpm.
