Strange, I go to Summit and they all say special order. Mancini and Jegs have them as well though. Jack

I was just checking out the cometics. There is a 4 week wait at minimum. That's nuts. I wonder what other options there are? Jack

Yes they were. Jack

It's going to take somebody that knows more than me to answer that question. lol Jack

I'm guessing a little bit of oil was getting in from the lifter valley. There was light blue in the exhaust but not a lot like you would get with rings being worn out. I don't know what the cylinder pressure should be in an 8 to 1 compression engine, but what I am thinking might be a...

Number 8 has me scratching my head as well. Jack

Here are my thoughts. It appears that #6 has just completely pushed the head gasket out. Number #4 is not far behind. Looking at the pressures again I would say that #7 is headed that way as well. The cylinder walls still have crosshatch on them and I didn't see any scratches. There are no...

I got it taken apart today. Here are the photos. Jack I didn't see anything obvious damage wise. The one thing I really noticed was how much cleaner #6 was compared to the other pistons. There was no scoring of the cylinder walls and no ring ridge. The cam lobes looked great. #6 here is...

That was 11 years ago, (I just looked it up), Rob. My memory does not recall the type of rings, only that they were a softer metal than what a n/a engine would use, but that only applied to the compression rings. Jack

My first thought when this started was possibly a bad valve seal somewhere. Jack

I am going to find out tomorrow. I am going to pull the top off the engine. That will tell me a lot as to what is going on. Jack

I'm an old retired guy. I got nothing else to do. lol Jack

If I'm going to replace a head gasket I might as well do it all. It is still a job I can do in 2 or 3 days. Jack

I can't remember what the initial compressions were, that was 11 years ago. #8 had me scratching my head as well. Did it again and was the same. Jack

I started my 340 up this spring and noticed a **** load of blow by. I finally got around to doing some tests on it today. Compression is all over the map. There is light blue smoke coming out of the tail pipes. And you can see the amount of blow by in the video. The plug check showed all...

Finally got the old girl out after a long winters nap. Took it to get a little fresh gas and all seemed well. Now just want a little warmer and sunny weather. Jack

I had covid around Christmas. I didn't take anything for it. I found it was nothing special except for the extremely sore throat and it was gone as far as symptoms in a week but I tested positive for 17 days total. I had the first 2 vaccine shots and the wife had 3. Neither of us will ever have...

I did check that and what I found was, the belt got tighter for sure, but I still had lots of play in the belt. Maybe a 1/2 inch from side to side. It starts out cold at about 3/4 to an inch of play. When I looked closely at the broken shaft I noticed what looked like air bubbles in the shaft...

With that much snow Aaron, I think the pain is going to be a little higher than your ***. Jack

I just had this photo sent to me. It is from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. This is the same storm that @jimjimjimmy is getting. I am told all the snow in this photo is from this one storm that is expected to continue for at least another day. Jack

To my knowledge mine has never been in a mag but I know a couple of people that have A-bodies that should be in mags. One is a member here, @jimjimjimmy has a 70 Duster that is a real head turner and neck breaker. Another friend has a 65 Dart that is very nice and has won many trophy's at...

I had cataracts starting a few years ago. I also wore glasses thanks to a blood disorder that was affecting my eyes and making me go blind. Got that under control and I hated the glasses when out in the cold winters around here. And I love being outside. I had both lenses replaced and have never...

That's a shame. I made it there the year before the virus hit. One less thing to do when I am on vacation. Jack

I think that may have been close to the first day of the new board. There were close to 100 members on the previous board I think. Jack

We have a new leader of the pack even though we joined the same day. Another oldtimer. lol Jack

I don't believe it for one second, you are not old enough to be his proud mama. Jack

I ordered this one last night. I figured if it's good that's great, if it's junk, then I am not out much. Jack

Good to see you drop in @AdamR. I don't see many of the O.G. anymore. Jack

A belated Happy Birthday @oldkimmer ! I wasn't on the site for a few days. Jack
