    8.25 carrier wear

    The spider gears in my 8.25 lost several teeth a few days ago. Upon disassembly, it looks like there was damage beforehand- the pin had some pretty extreme wear and the splined axle gears took some effort to pull out of the carrier. It took several hours of hammering to get the pin itself out...

    Large rpm drop

    I have a 904 behind a 360. 600 rpm idle in gear that jumps to 1100-1200 in park or neutral. I got the transmission and converter together used, but pulled it apart to check it out before putting it in and it was a fresh build, very few miles if any. I was told the customer had it in his build...

    Oil leak

    I freshened up my 360 and got it back in my car today. Everything is good except for a fairly decent oil leak around the timing cover/oil pan. It's not at the corners, it's at the bottom like the pan isn't seated down tight. I used a cork gasket with rubber ends, Mr. Gasket 394, and I torqued...

    360 Bearings

    I'm going through and freshening up my 360 and checked bearing clearances this past weekend. Mains are on the looser end on 0.0015", rods are on the tighter end of 0.0015", using plastigauge. I knew they were gonna be tight, but I'd feel a lot better at 0.0020"-0.0030". My crank has been turned...

    904 third gear flare

    I have a 904 behind a mild 360, probably around 350 hp and 325 ft/lbs I'm guessing. I built the trans with beefier clutches, and had it behind a stock 360 magnum for a bit as well. Has about 8,000 miles on it total, and I drive the thing hard. Stoplight to stoplight, there's never really much of...
