Hey guys: I'm going through a fairly low mileage engine to go in my Scamp, and found something disquieting. By low mileage, I mean an unrebuilt 1970 engine with under 100K. Here's one of the rod bearings. What is going on here? The inserts aren't excessively worn or smeared, but they all have...

Hey guys. First time having to R&R an intake. What is the purpose of the two small metal tabs or teeth on each end of the head gasket on the intake side? Hold the end seals down? Hold the intake gaskets up? None of the above? Thanks...

Hey guys: Do I need/should I use the oil filter adapter on a stock hi-mile 318 that probably won't ever see the high side of 3500 rpms? The engine has one now but I see gasket sealer poking out from behind it....it wasn't leaking in the donor vehicle but I just am wary of that. If I go to a...

I am running a stock 318 with a Holley 2280, stock ignition and 4-wire ECU, single ballast. Out of nowhere, it's started falling out at part throttle.Doesn't matter if it's free running or under load, above 1500 rpms it'll begin cutting out and die if I hold my foot in it.Also starts smelling...
