    Ticking 2007 5.7 Hemi

    some of them came out with ease. The ones that were broke off flush or below the surface I built them up with the mig and welded a small bolt to them and the heat from the weld assisted in removal. None of the ones I removed were frozen in the head

    Let’s hear a 340 story

    A slightly different 340 story. Back in high school when the 68 was out of commission for one reason or another (always had something getting torn up in it) I bought a 72 Olds Cutlass. Nothing special and just had a 350 2 barrel in it but like any other teenager I loved to beat the hell out of...

    DIY Crack Checking?

    Spray it down with carb cleaner and the. Hit it with an air hose. When carb cleaner dries quickly it leave things looking kind of white. The cracks will still have wet carb cleaner in them and will stand out against the dry background.

    Idling 340 w/o Valve Cover?

    I have just cut a pice of card board and ran it across the bottom side of the heads. Does a decent job of keeping the oil off the manifolds and such for a short time

    Leak down /compression test

    Compression tests are ok but the leak down test is the tell tale on the condition of the engine. Up to 25% leakage is still a solid engine. 25 to 40% is considered moderate and shows it has some wear that will need addressing in the near future. The good thing about the leak down is it will let...

    360 Cylinder P.S.I.

    If you are getting low compression the quickest way to tell what the problem is would be to do a leak down test. It will tell you way more than a compression test ever will. Pressurize the cylinder with air while the valves are supposed to be closed and look for the air leak, Out the carb -...

    5.7 Hemi Swap Tech question

    Are you sure the injectors are not being grounded or are they just not providing fuel. A buddy put one of these in a street rod and ran in to a similar situation.
