    Head gasket woes

    is any of the head gasket hang in the bore or overlap into the combustion chamber? I used to run the thin Mopar gaskets, worked fine on a .020 360, not so good on a .060 340 bore. Both gaskets failed. I use Cometic on everything I build now. They will make custom thickness's for you.

    MAGNUM PAN ON LA ENGINE

    I'm having a problem with the 1-piece Magnum oil pan gasket sealing to the timing cover. I could fill the void with silicone sealer, I try to use as little as needed. We run a Magnum truck pan "rear sump" on a stock eliminator car. It doesn't seem to have enough crush to seal, the back seals...

    Glidden Arrow

    I'm suprised that Chrysler didn't get much R&D from this deal.

    Glidden Arrow

    Well, he didn't seem to have too much trouble with this one. The reason he dropped the MoPar deal was because Chrysler was broke & trying to borrow money from the government. He had a new Volare being built at the time for the 1980 season, until the cash was cut off.

    Race engine winter storage question

    I got my engine back from the machine shop. All bare metal, sprayed the cylinders & deck surfaces down with Foggit Covered the block on the stand. Ended up having some emergency surgery. 2 months later, no rust at all. Works on guns also. I spray all my engine down with it. Great product!

    I’m guessing this is to slow the Mopars down

    This is for the X class. These cars only have a chassis certified to 7.50. The rule change was implemented to keep them from going quicker than 7.50. Chevys got hit this week after Dallas. My opinion is that it should have been done across the board for every manufacture at the same time. NHRA...

    Pro Stock. The good old days

    Wayne county Daytona was one of the most torn down pro stocks to ever run. NHRA seen to it. If there was NOS, NHRA would have been guilty for covering it up as well.
