Had an unpleasant surprise a week ago. Checked the Duster 408 over to prep for drag races coming up. Checked the oil and it was way over full. Then checked radiator and it was below cores. OH OH, knew I had a problem. I had run it at drag races 2 weeks before and ran fine; just unloaded...

I have 5.9L Magnum engine in my Duster that has LA oil pan. When I rebuilt the engine, I used the one piece OS34409R gasket with the end pan seals attached. It developed oil leak at front of pan. When I took pan off, I found source of leak. I never noticed the gap at corner during assembly...

The oil pan gasket seal is seeping on the 5.9L engine in my Duster. It has spool mounts. It is stock LA pan and there is a windage tray inside also. If I drop tie rod links, can I get engine high enough to remove pan. Hate to pull engine just for that. Front seal is not leaking; so hope to...

I'm rebuilding my 340 from 72 Challenger after the machine work. Bought a used set of 273 rockers which look good, but most of the 5/16 bolts Gr5 were stretched. I know about the torque specs being wrong at 30 lb-ft. Put in adjustable pushrod checker and ordered the new custom pushrods. I put...
