    FelPro 70522 Oil filter plate gasket size….

    Thanks. I’m in Canada, so a $3.00 gasket will cost $20 shipping. I was asking if anyone else got an oversized one to see if mine was a fluke, or are they wide-spread incorrect.

    FelPro 70522 Oil filter plate gasket size….

    Anyone bought one of these lately, and find it’s too large? Did just that yesterday, and had to trim the outside of the gasket to fit in the recess on the block…’74 360,by the way.

    Best break-in oil???

    So straight 30W is OK for break-in? I would think a multi-vis, as in 10W-30 would be better at initial start-up to get into the tight clearances of a new engine?

    Best break-in oil???

    Probably been asked before ( I searched, but no go), but what’s the best break-in oil for a flat-tappet engine (360, if it matters)?

    Update…SUCCESS!!…found proper converter locally ( thanks Inertia!!)…turns over fine…it was the tooth count…now on to other peripherals to complete this setup! Thanks for everyone’s input!

    I just counted the ring gear teeth on this converter… I got 148 teeth… that’s definitely the problem… my starters don’t mesh at all with it. Here’s a pic to show the difference… left is SB 727 TC and one on right is the 148 tooth one.

    You have been a great help… thank you very much!! I appreciate it!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

    Sorry…I stand corrected on the descriptions. Yes…small pilot… with Pat Blais’s adapter ring to large crank. I may have the 148 tooth ring gear converter. Like I said, I just picked this one out of a friend’s pile not knowing the 2 different tooth counts.

    Standard big Mopar starters…they’re all the same, right?

    No… tried that with a 360 - 727 converter….727 converter wont fit in the 904 bell housing.

    starter grinding

    Starter’s fine… I have tried 3 altogether, and same problem. I think I have a clue though… cut a window in the bell to see the starter/converter area. It appears I have a converter that has too many teeth, too close together as the Bendix teeth wont mesh with the ring gear teeth. I have video...

    Ok, I tried lifting the converter by placing a piece of pipe in the drive hub and prying up, to take the weight… converter didn’t move at all….B+ M weighted flex plate behind the converter doesn’t have much “flex”…and powering the starter while prying up makes no difference… grinds the same.

    I have the Pat Blais adapter ring in there to take up the slop.

    Yea…I’ll try and scare up a flywheel.

    Just for ***** and giggles, what if I cut the converter open and removed a bunch of the excess weight...basically just leaving the ring gear and a bit of the outside housing?

    I guess an actual flywheel would be better, eh?

    Rusty… you might be right. I just figured this was a way to run the engine before installing. I had the access to the converter and bell housing cheap.
