It’s been a while since I’ve been on. Moved, new job, life in general. I just got the car going again and noticed a slight coolant leak up on the top of the intake along the head. Didn’t seem like much but found small puddles on the ground. Pulled the radiator cap to check the level and found...

I just did an oil change and now under high rpm the oil pressure is pegging at @ 100 psi at higher rpms. Ive been running valvoline racing 10-30 and with a wix 51085 filter. It would sit at 60-70 psi cruising and 40 at idle. This time I used valvoline advanced synthetic 10-30 and a wix 51085xp...

Anyone running these with an airgap intake? Wondering if you have to grind the edges of them to get them to fit? Looking at this style

I think I already know the answer, and will be correcting it, but curious of what others would do. Replaced the rear main seal and mixed up my torque specs and didn't tighten two caps the same as the others. ARP bolts and the spec is 110 ft pounds but only torqued two of them to 95 ft pounds...

Obviously one is in wrong since they are not in the same.. which way is correct?

Oil pressure line broke off. Sucks!!

What is safe max ratio for 91 octane (highest we can get here)?? Searched and read as much at I could find but seems to be all over the place on what works. Building a 410 stroker, aluminum head and engine came in at 10.2:1 static and 9.2:1 dynamic (seems high) builder said it should be fine but...

I have a 72 340 with a unilite 37 mechanical distributor. Supposed to have 20 degrees built in but seems to be 25 when engine is hot. Initial is set at 15 and reads dead on 35 when warm but after a drive and engine is at full temp reads 40 at about 3000 rpm. Pulled it and set it to only have...

Anybody cut your own seats? The comp cams cutter that goes on a drill was what I was looking at, but no sure if its worth doing myself or take them to a machine shop. Over $100 bucks for the cutters for one time use might not be worth it but thought I would try to get some feedback. Thanks.

So, I have playing with the camquest on Comp Cams website and need some clarification. Seems like on all the different cams, no matter what, the XE268 always out performs any other cam based on the dyno specs that it gives. I know that it is not exact but playing with it and adjusting the heads...

My fresh rebuild has a vibration that starts at around 2k rpm and up. In neutral or park If I hold the rpm it comes and goes. Run it up to say, 2500 and hold it, its shakes pretty good, hold it for 10 or 15 seconds and it goes away, keep holding and it returns comes and goes etc. etc... It did...

I set my distributor drive with the slot pointing to #1 bolt on the intake but when I install the distributor it has the rotor at #4 or #7 not straight ahead on #1. (Engine is on TDC #1 compression stroke). It is a Mallory Unilite with mechanical advance. Anyone know if they are set up different...

Just went through to motor and am getting close to firing it up. Turned the crank, replaced all bearings, honed the cylinders and replaced the rings. Using the existing cam (already broke in) lifters, pushrods, rockers etc... reinstalled in same postion as before. Should I use break in oil or...

Thought I would replaced the valve seals while I had the heads off. Intakes have bit of carbon build up on them. Seals that came in the gasket kit are umbrella for the exhaust and positive for the intake (attached) but all the seals on them now are umbrella type. Heads are 70-72 360. Which...

Not sure what to look for ( I'm sure it scare some that I have taken the engine out and I am asking this) but are these bearings bad? https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#ACGI9HKKz3hN1

Been trying to figure out a ticking noise in my 340. It just started a few weeks ago and seems to be getting worse. Motor has 2 k on it but not sure on the build from the previous owner. Thought it was a exhaust leak but after some checking I believe it is in valve train. It gets worse when the...

Went to put a converter in my 68 340. Motor has a forged balancer on it but found the converter has weights. Block appears to be a 72 but has been rebuilt by previous owner who I can't locate anymore. Anyway to figure it out??

Need some guidance, picked up 68 Dart and it has no low end power. Runs great, great top end but no launch at all, if I power brake it can’t break the tires loose and it seems to maybe rev to about 1200 rpm at best. The few times it did break loose it was like being on ice, burning the tires off...
