well thanks again. 2 things less to worry about. :headbang: :thumbup:

Hi, just wanted to check before I try anything. First I want to change the intake, to do that I need to lower the coolant level, right? Is there a way to know how I much removed coolant is enough to remove the intake without creating a mess? Second, I want to change the engine mount...

Well thanks a lot for all the infos again. Four pistons are now out of the block, and I have check the most thing I could until now. One of the four cylinder as little notch at top that you can feel the the finger nail. The 3 others seems much better. I also started with cylinder #3, this one...

ok, thanks guys , so next step I will remove the pistons and looks at the cylinders walls ... btw, it is a 1978 360. One question (newbie question), what/where is the skirt? Is there a way I can see if the camshaft is good or not? About the converter, I have the transmission...

Hi, I have a 360 that I was planning a complete rebuild, but now family plans have change and I won't be able to afford it for now. So I was wondering if I could do like a basic basic rebuild of the 360. I was thinking maybe I can change the pistons rings, new sets of gaskets, new water...

Hey ... just got an offer for a set of 8 pistons Keith Black KB107 0.030 over with the pins ... for 250$ cnd, never use still in the box. From what I have seen it looks like a fair deal, what do you think? Does the pins normally come with the pistons...

Thanks again for these great advices. :thumbup: Well I guess I am not the only one like that, wishing to have that kind of thing done in a short time and for the cheapest as possible. I almost did not use the car, because of the lack of time and the lack of fun of the 318 that is tired...

Thanks for the all the advices...I will continue to think at all the things you said, and see what I will do. As far as I know the engine was running when it was top 5 or 6 years ago. Before we removed it from the car, we cranked it and pour gas in the crab ,and the thing was trying to fire...

Hi, so I have my old 1978 360 on the stand in the garage now, and don't exactly know what to do with it !!! I removed the head, and check some things ... as well as a novice can do. Now I wonder if I should give it to a rebuilder and spend the 2500$ or more it will cost me for a warm over...

well big thanks BJR Racing, you were 100% rigth. I checked the carb this weekend, and the needle was not working well at all. I removed it, cleaned the needle and put it back together ... then :thumblef: :notworth: :drinkers: I think even if it's a small 2bbl I will rebuilt it, since it's...

Thanks a lot for the advice on the fuel pressure. I will check that as soon as I can, most probably this weekend. Also, I will try to take a good picture of the plugs, since my analys would not worth that much anyway. :thumblef: As for the choke, let just say, he is open and hold that way...

Hi, so it's a stock '72 318 2bbl :sad2: ... I got it out lastly, start well, idle smoothly, rev well (up to 2500 rpm) when cold... Going for a little ride, to test somethings, about 5 minutes, then the idle was a bite rougher, a little bite of black and blue smoke when revved (2500-3000 rpm)...

Thanks everybody for your input on that one. I will redo the test as you told me, hot engine, pedal to the floor. As for why I did the test, it is mostly out of curiosity. And also, my project of building another engine in parallel is really uncertain :sad2: , so I wanted to do some test to...

HI, today I have check the compression on my 318...warm engine, around 60 psi on all cylinders (except #1 and #5, did not check)...a couple of days ago I have checked but with a cold engine and got around 90 psi on those I checked (#1,2,4,6,8 had to stop)... SO what do you think? the engine...
