    A Lesson on Timing Needed

    Purchased a 318 from a 8? Diplomat (Hydraulic setup). I performed a quick rebuild and installed a Mallory Unilite distributor, 4-bbl carburetor & intake, and a double roller timing chain. To set the timing, do I bring the #1 cylinder up like other 318's or is there something I'm suppose to do...

    318 Rear Main Seal

    When installing the rear main seal (block side), does it fit all the way into the groove before installing crankshaft or will it rest on the two extended ends? Also, will those ends flatten easily as the rear main is torqued?

    Stock Roller Setup vs XE262H

    :banghead: I'm in a situation where I lucked up and purchased a hydraulic roller 318 with the 302 casting heads for a decent price. I purchased the Comp Cams camshaft and lifters for another engine. Would you leave the stock roller setup as is or replace it with the XE262H?

    Would It Be Normal - Engine Disassembly

    Went and picked up an engine Friday and started tearing it down yesterday. I left the short block standing up on the timing chain cover. It was slightly tilted due to the balancer and crankshaft bolt still attached. I went to take the flex-plate off and rotated the bottom end by accident...

    I Believe I'm Not Finished: Block Honing

    This is my first attempt of block honing. I purchased the Lisle Engine Hone that has the three stones. I went through all cylinders at 30 seconds each cylinder (1 full stroke = 1 second)... End result: Should I go back over the cylinders with the same process or that's fine as long as it's...

    It's about that time to assemble my first rebuild soon. I'm about to order Clevite Engine Assembly Lube along with Comp Cams Break-In Additive and was wondering is there anything special needed for rocker arms, push rods distributor gear, and springs. I know Comp Cams offer an assembly spray...

    318 Cylinder Head Milling: Help the Confusion

    I've been doing some research on milling 318 heads on various sites which means different opinions and the whole nine. I took some notes and wanted to see what I recorded is correct. I'm thinking about using the heads (4027593/4027163) that came off my motor since I already have them. .020 (no...

    Hydraulic Roller Lifters

    I'm in the process of rebuilding my 318 which is a '77 model. While browsing for a set of lifters on eBay, I came across a few sets of factory roller lifters. The thought of adding them for a small gain wouldn't hurt anything, but the one question came to mind... Will it work? Thought about...
