    Not Slant specific but applies to all guide installs: What's the stem to guide clearance on a .315 (8mm) valve stem?

    blown head gasket, chocolate milk!

    drained 6 quarts of chocolate milk from a 4 quart oil sump. Motor only ran about 10 minutes at about 700-1000 RPM. Im guessing 2 of those quarts were distilled water (coolant). Did I fubar the bearings? I was trying to diagnose a terrible miss, the back two of 4 cylinders have intake ports that...

    /6 crankshaft balancing

    Interesting balance video of a straight six crankshaft. The shaft itself is balanced to itself, not the reciprocating parts as they are their own counterweights as long as they are all the same weight. No need for the reciprocating weight when balancing a straight six crankshaft, each rod...

    too high compression?

    Not slant but four banger related. 82 Mazda 2.0 knocks on acceleration under med load. I dont remember it doing this but its been OOS for a few years. I had the head resurfaced and they had to take like 30 thou off as it was heavily pitted. in doing that it raised the compression x amount of...

    favorite 4bbl slant intake

    Clifford, offy, Hurricane, Dutra Hyper-Pak repop? Heat or no heat? Testing the waters for the most popular, cost not really a factor. More interested in design concensus. Offy had long stock looking runners, Clifford had shorter runners with a larger plenum. Aussiespeed Hurricane had crazy...

    anyone run a roller cam?

    I got some used solid Hemi rollers and wondered if they could be used in a slant if I made the correct length link bars. Have Oregon cam grind me a roller (if they could as the roller lobes are super skinny) ..no hydro adaptation needed. Same diameter....?

    distributor gear replacing

    I got this blast from the past in the mail today But the gear pin hole is too high, does it matter or is there a proper clearance for the end play of the shaft? There is like 3mm of difference in the spring-pin holes. Do I cross drill the gear to match the old hole level and retain the old...

    bung in head intake

    I fashioned this out of EMT, a piece of plate metal and an old Edelbrock cast valve cover. I bought the flanges off Ebay. I made the runners as long as the original Ramchargers formula for intake valve timing off a stock camshaft, I think it was around 240 degrees. I picked the 4th or 5th wave...

    slant cam guessing game...428 lift?

    I bought a aftermarket cam off this board years ago and totally forgot the part number. I installed it (a year ago) and now am wondering WTF I installed! I know it was a mechanical as I got 11 solid lifters with it, but I dont know the grind. My only clues are the installed valve lift (mic'd off...

    Damper install procedure

    This was a tough one but I managed. Pulling it was the normal procedure: thread 3 bolts and run the jackscrew into the crank end with an appropriate non-damaging tip. Run a breaker bar between 2 of the bolts and run it over to the frame rail to hold crankshaft. Now getting the **** on is another...

    colored link on new timing chain..?

    what is the signifigance of the colored link on the non roller timing chain? Do you count the links to the dot like other colored link chains? Where is the info, I got the chain out of the box. I know you line the dots up but I think the colored link is a more accurate way to set it when you are...

    slant cam swap in car.

    65 Barracuda, you can swap the cam without pulling the motor. You do need to remove the radiator and the right bumper mount (and loosen the left) and both motor mounts. Lay the motor pan rail on the K with no motor mounts and pull cam out until it hits the lower bumper lip. Then determine how...

    65 (60?) oil pump removal

    What a *****! My 65 had to have both its motor mounts removed (per FSM) then I had to put a scissor jack between the block and the frame rail and pry motor over about 6 inches while floor jacking the motor until it hit the firewall. The FSM says you can do it with a piece of wood wedged between...

    timing cover gasket

    is there a trick on mouinting the new timing chain cover with new rubber oil gasket on a motor that has the pan still attached? Thought you could slide it in there and tighten but Im having a heck of a time. dropping the pan on a 65 is tough.

    You know you got an EARLY head when...

    Sounds like a joke, eh? Well, its not ... 1. There is no bolt boss by the thermostat housing for the "passenger side" alternator tensioner. 2. There is no bolt boss next to the #1 plug hole for the 3 bolt alternator base to bolt up to. 3. There is no "countersink" machined into the face of the...
