I bought a CJ 7 Jeep in December last year. On the ride home I hit some black ice on the highway and immediately started sliding! My first thought was that I was going to be sideways when I hit dry pavement and total the Jeep within an hour of buying it. I managed to keep it straight but was...

I agree. Get that stereo pumping out some tunes!

I was truly upset when I turned on the TV Saturday morning, as an adult, and loony tunes was not on!

Nobody has said it yet, so I'll throw it out there. Vincent Price!!!

And, now I'm here. I referred to Hughes Engines website for direction. I was measuring for pushrod length. The longer I made the pushrod, the more valve lift I got. So much so that I made the pushrod as long as possible before it hit the rocker arm. I think I'm going to cut off the threads on...

Yes, they are destroying the everglades! Responsible pet owners don't turn them loose when they are done with them.

Trust me, when you've been taking care of the same snake for over 30 years, you get a bond. I still love taking him out having him hang out on my neck. They're no dog but fascinating creatures all the same!

Yeah, mine takes long, long naps...

I ended up using 1 Superformance and 1 Fel-pro gasket. The Superformance had some interference issues with the bottom of the windage tray and the Fel-pro did not.

This guy has been my buddy for over 30 years! And, snakes make awesome pets! They don't make any noise, you only feed them every week or two. If you wanted, you could leave on vacation for months and they would be just fine when you got back. Kids love them, too!

Split gasket!

I thought everything was going great with the oil pan install until I saw this! ****, that's a do over. The only spec I had said 15 ft lbs. from two different sources. The second time I went with 10 lbs. and I'll call that good! I ended up doing the timing chain cover twice, as well! It...

OK, so it seems I'm continuing my one step forward two steps back approach to this project. But the oil pan, timing cover, balancer and heads are all installed! I know I'm going at a snails pace but that's the way it is. The windage tray hung over all over the place so I cut off everything...

I have a 1969 one that was working fine when I pulled it from my GTX over 20 years ago. But, I'm in North Dakota.

That's great news! For you and me. I've got a 26" Glen-Ray to go in my X!

Fuel to the fire! This is my 1970 FSM. 200 in.-lbs. Look on the bottom row. That equals 16.67 ft-lbs. Yeah, time and gaskets change!

I haven't even checked the gaskets to the head! I've got a 1970 440 block .060 over and 440 source stealth heads.

Well, I just ran into the exact same problem today! The ring of the gasket overhangs just a hair on the intake side of the cylinder. I guess I didn't pay enough attention during mock up. Man, I was excited to get these heads on today! Another delay... How did the new gaskets work?

Both my mopar engine building books state it as foot pounds. I guess that one got by the editors! I re-did the pan and went to 10 foot pounds. It came out looking great!

Screwing yourself is much easier to do than you'd first think! Glad it was an easy fix for you.
