Here's the story: about 6 years ago this engine was rebuilt by a dirtbag. I didn't know he was a dirtbag until last year when I found out how much was wrong with the engine. So, a friend and I removed the engine ourselves, had a trustworthy machine shop sleeve a cylinder and hone all of them...

Cool, thanks guys. I guess I'll leave it in there since that's how it was and I don't have the fourth bolt.

The plate had a wear mark from the cam one one side and from the bolts on the other, so I'm pretty sure it is on the right way, unless the guy who built it before put it on backwards... But it seems strange to me that there are four threaded holes with only three bolts and the tab thing just...

I'm putting my 318 back together, had it apart due to a bad crank which also wrecked 3 pistons, a rod and a cylinder. Had the cylinder sleeved, replaced the bad pistons and rod, all cylinders honed and all new rings. This is the first time that I am putting an engine together, and I have a...

It's a 904 auto trans, the engine was rebuilt about 5 years and 20,000 miles ago but of course AFTER it was built/paid for/installed everyone I heard from told me what a dirtbag the guy who built the engine is. So for all I know the engine wasn't completely rebuilt.

Don't I have to do everything whether I take the engine out or not? Part of the problem is I don't really have the room to take the engine out, especially if I end up not being able to fix it in one day. I'll be doing the work in someone else's garage and I can't take up the whole space. As...

I have a bad thrust bearing in my 318 in my 1972 coronet. Just talked to a guy at napa who usually knows his stuff, he said it may be possible to change the thrust bearing with the engine still in the car, if I can get the oil pan off. I'll go look for myself to see if there is room to get the...

Thanks guys, will focus my search on a complete engine.

Actually while I'm at it I would like to hear about 340s too, just in case I get super lucky and come across one that I can afford.

With the help of a friend, I have just determined that I have a bad thrust bearing in my 318. Since I have to take the engine out anyway I'm seriously considering using this problem as an excuse to move up to a 360. But of course, I am fairly strapped on cash, so we'll see if this is truly...

1972 coronet, 318, 2 barrel carb (forget the make, does Carter sound right?) The car had been sitting for maybe a month until last week when I drove it a few miles, then it sat again until today. I was driving today, following a friend, he decided to take off fast so I went to full throttle to...

I got stuck in traffic driving my 1972 Coronet in the city today, the temp gauge never went over 3/4 of the way, but when I parked and turned off the car, steam billowed out and a bit of coolant spilled too. After letting it cool down I opened the radiator cap to put in some distilled water, but...
