I know this is asked a lot, and a lot are probably going to say everything is fine, but I still feel like it should be higher. The motor is a 360, rebuilt last year, stock crank and rods with ARP rod bolts, KB pistons etc. Has a Lunati solid roller, 245 @50 and 580 lift with MRL lifters...

I've had the problem twice now, and I don't really know what to do about it. This has happened twice now. The first time it happened was last year just before I put the car away for the winter. I was driving it, everything was running perfectly and then the AFR gauge would slowly lean out...

I know flat tappet cams and oil with zinc pretty much go hand in hand, but what about solid roller cams? I hear that you don't really need it from some and that its good to run by others. The question is in relation to my 360 with a solid roller. I ran brad penn 15w40 in it for about 2k miles...

Ive had my 360 together in my dart swinger for a while now and been driving it around all summer without a hiccup in the engine. It makes really good power and is nice and healthy so I have no problem. But ive been thinking that my intake manifold may not be completely correct for my engine...

I dont really know if this is a problem or not but I though I would ask, especially since I am going to be starting up my new motor pretty soon and dont want a header leak to cause weird noises. The motor is a 360 with eddy heads and dougs headers. I bought and installed these remflex gaskets...

Is the valve lash specified in a cam card cold or hot lash? I want to set the lash on my motor before I put it in next weekend. The cam is a lunati solid roller, and I have aluminum heads on my 360. For whatever reason it doesn't say cold or hot on the card, it just says 16 thou for intake and...

So I know that there are those that say a stock capacity oil pan and a HV oil pump can pump the pan dry when high rpms are used. But I was also told that this could never happen, so I dont know what to believe. Originally I had a moroso deep pan, and it was stupid to run on the street, it...

So i was mocking up my rocker gear on my 360 and was looking at the wear on the valve tips to check the geometry. I have an la 360, so it has a shaft rocker system, and I am running comp ultra pro magnum rocker arms. I noticed that the pattern is biased towards the exhaust. It looks closer...

I know what most are thinking from the title, but I am not talking about using the pump from a 100k mile motor. I am wondering about using the pump I had on my motor before. It has about 3000 miles on it so really has very little use, and worked perfectly when I had it running. The motor came...

Just wondering what you guys measured or would expect to see in regards to kb 107 pistons and eddy closed chamber heads on a 360. I am just measuring the PTV clearance to make sure I am good. I have a solid roller cam in it and I adjusted it to the proper lash. I just ordered pushrods so I...

Just a quick question, I'm installing my rings (sealed power e-251k30) and the top ring has a moly face. There is no dot or bevel on it, it looks the same either way. Can it be installed both ways? Or do I need a new set of rings?

I am getting ready to assemble my 360 and I honed the bores today. The motor had about 3000 miles on it (came out for something simple but just rebuilt it again). The bores are really nice, they just needed a light cleanup to get rid of the glaze for the new rings. The bores are .30 over. I...

So I am about to get ready to put my motor back together, and want to fix all the mistakes that I made the first time. One of those mistakes seems to have been a mistake when measuring the bearing clearance, I thought I did it right and that I had enough clearance, but I think it was a bit tight...

Not trying to create another "what is the best rocker arm' thread but today I figured out that I have a bit of an issue when I was looking for rocker arms for my 360. I used to have the stock springs that come with the edlebrock heads, as well a PRW aluminum rocker arms (do NOT recommend...

As I am about to get ready to put my 360 back together I just had the thought about how many times I can torque some of the bolts. Specifically the rod bolts, mains and head bolts. The head bolts are ARP bolts, and they have been torqued twice, the rod studs are ARP as well and have been...

I am looking at cams to put in my 360. I phoned comp and lunati and have some cam recommendations as well, so I am deciding between those two cams. But what about the lifters? Only reason that I am leaning towards the comp cam is because I can easily buy comp stuff locally, I would have to...

So my 360 has about 3k miles on it now and I stared it the other day, it wasn't started for a while so it took a bit of cranking. I started listening to the starter and noticed it ever so slightly sped up as It was cranking in one spot, which from what I understand shouldn't happen, it should be...

I am just taking apart the old 318 that was on my dart before I swapped in my 360. The 318 ran fine but burnt some oil. As I started taking it apart I started to see that it wasn't the original engine, it's a 84 with a roller cam. The top of the motor was perfect looking, nice and tight, the cam...

I've only recently noticed this happening to my 360 ever since its gotten colder outside. When I start it up after its been sitting overnight or longer sometimes I have a second of valve train clatter, it goes away before you really start to notice it. It never happens when the car is idling, or...

I took my valve cover off on one side because it made it easier to replace my header gasket and while I was at it I checked my rocker arms. All were nice and tight, except one, It ever so slightly loose. I could barely move it, but with some effort I could move it a bit, almost like the...

So I've noticed this recently but never really knew why or if it's a problem (don't really think it is, but just confirming). My dart has a new 360 in it, I've put about 600 miles on it and the oil pressure has stated consistent the entire time. Cold I get about 76psi and when it warms up I get...

I'm just curous if there is a way to determine a good redline on my 360, I just don't want to rev it beyond what it can safely handle. It currently has about 500 miles on it, Ive been starting to get the revs up more and more frequently now, not just little bursts when the motor was newer...

So I've been making a few threads lately to make it easier to follow. My 360 has about 150 miles on it currently, when I broke the hydraulic flat tapped cam in everything went well, good oil pressure, and sounded nice, but it had open headers so I couldn't hear any noises. Checked to see if...

My 360 has about 150 miles on it, it has a flat tappet camshaft as well. I changed the oil after the cam break in, and the oil looked kinda murky and dark, and there was a little but of stuff on the magnetic drain plug. I changed the oil today after with the 150 miles as recommended by my...

I just got my new motor in my dart, I broke the cam in, everything went well, a few little leaks that I fixed. I finally got around to driving it today and noticed a little bit of smoke coming out of one of the breathers. I haven't hooked up the PCV system yet. The motor had about 50-60 miles on...

I'm trying to figure out how to mount the throttle cable. I have the kick-down hooked up using the old bracket, and a kick-down extension on my carb, so that works, its just the actual mounting of the throttle cable that's causing issues. I have it temporarily hooked up, but I don't want to...

I just broke in the cam in my 360, I changed the oil after the break and today I had it running to check oil pressure, temp little things. I was listening to the actual engine and could hear a slight noise, definitely wasn't a knocking noise, and it was coming from the top of the motor. It just...

So my 73 dart has been making me scratch my head alot lately, originally when I pulled the motor out I thought I had a 73 318 mated to a 904 trans, I took everything out and dropped my 360 in there. I was going to use the "904" so I went and put a shift kit in it, but upon further inspection it...

I just recently completed the break in on my 360 (I think it went well), I just changed the oil and I don't know if its normal looking or not. The drain plug has a magnet on it and there was something stuck to it. It was gray in colour and looked like assembly paste, didn't seem gritty or...

So last night I started the 360 I built, its .30 pistons, stock crank, eddy RPM heads, 10.6:1 compression, comp XE268h cam, weiand intake holley 650, dougs headers and so on. Should be a pretty fun package! Sounds like it anyways! Everything went well for the most part, didn't fire up...
