    Water in oil after rebuild - looking for guidance

    If possible I would make a fitting to screw in the head bolt hole and attach an air line. If you have access to a welder or can drill out a 7/16? Bolt with a way to mate an air line you could do a leak down test or at least listen to the air escaping. Just a thought.

    Water in oil after rebuild - looking for guidance

    Question. Do those ARP head bolts use washers too? If so I used them too and it is recommended that you place lubricant on top of the washer for an accurate torque reading. Not under the washer but where the bolt rests on top of the washer.

    Water in oil after rebuild - looking for guidance

    Thinking out loud here. The crack goes from the water jacket to the bolt hole. Not the cylinder. At least from the picture. How is coolant getting into the crankcase or cylinder? It would have to travel from a poor head gasket seal. Looking at the gasket, are there signs of this leakage into...

    Water in oil after rebuild - looking for guidance

    That is disappointing. I’m curious. Not saying this was the cause but did you retorque the heads? It’s a step many people opt out of because it means removing components and down time. It is a very important step. Deciding to use replacement head bolts is another thing to think about because...

    Need help. New mopar student.

    Your biggest issue will be a correct four barrel and jetting to work with the 318. It doesn’t have the valves, ports, exhaust and cubic inches like the 340. My best carb with a 318 was a 273 four barrel. Not sure about the bolt pattern though for that manifold. Maybe a 273 carb can use an...

    Water in oil after rebuild - looking for guidance

    I haven’t assembled a small block in years but do the intake bolts on the ends next to the water crossing pass into the valley to perhaps allow water to mix with oil? You put sealer on the intake threads? This of course happens do to a gasket not sealing. Throwing it out there… Sounds like...

    Water in oil after rebuild - looking for guidance

    A few thoughts to add Just to rule out any head or head gasket issues you might want to perform a compression test. Do you have oil and water mixed in the radiator? If it was a junkyard motor were the heads surfaced? Maybe the intake side was not milled as well and it’s not sitting...

    Balancer slides in on install

    That's good news. Glad it worked out. Having fixed "mistakes" in the metal shop I know just about anything can be repaired. Example they sleeve cylinders. I could see how a rare damper such as six pack external balance damper could be repaired. It's just metal. Bore it. Sleeve and weld into...

    Balancer slides in on install

    A lot of discussion. I can add as a retired machinist and having built many Mopar’s of my own : All dampers started with larger bore stepped to a smaller interference fit to finish off. I never had to measure the bore but I can tell you even a same size bore is difficult to install. I would...

    70 Dart Trunk Gutters. Anyone make them?

    I have had trouble locating someone who reproduces the 70 Dart trunk gutters. Does anyone happen to know of a source? AMD doesn't make them. I have seen someone list trunk gutters as the same 70-76 but AMD doesn't list them as the same. Thank you
