This is a OEM 1970's Twist On Oil Filler Cap. It is original,
not a china knockoff, and is in decent condition, just needs a
cleanup and repaint. I can no longer remember for sure what engine
this came off of, but I believe it will work on small and big blocks.
$15.00. Local pickup, or buyer...
Good morning,
Couple oil questions. I have a 67 Coronet driver with a 383 4 barrel that I bought last year. So far, I drove it around 1000 miles. I am in Massachusetts so it doesn't get driven much in the winter.
1. Do you change your oil every year? Regardless of how much you drive it?
2. What...
...Stock or aftermarket? Is the clutch new? Is the clutch adjusted correctly? Is the bellhousing aligned with the crankshaft centerline?
Whatoil is insode? Synthetic or petroleum? Weight of the oil?
Fully rebuilt by what shop? Do you have a receipt and a Warranty? It shouldn't be doing...
What a moron moment. One cover is upside down. (thanks dadsbee for letting me off the hook)
I still have an issue at the oil pan and front cover that is bare after cleaning the gasket surface.
Thanks again.
What we’re working soon.. it’s got a bad oil pump. It cranks but the valves are clacking showing no oil pressure.. and it’s got metal shavings in engine.. so where going to pull and rebuild it.. give me something new to drive.. 5.7 Hemi..
What is the set part number? What is the bearing shell part number? I also see a shadow of the oil hole in the bearing in the cap. Do both shells have oil holes, or do you have them installed wrong?
I see these TV mechanics smelling and actually tasting the oil off the dipstick. I suppose you might be able to smell a burned smell. What the heck are they trying to figure out by doing this and what gives off a red flag in the smell and or taste?
Kendall sponsored me but if they did not i would still buy the oil out of packet from what i learned from old timers to find my oil now is hard so when i find it i but 2 to 3 cases of it.
I just put 10w-30 in my 1969 383. I’m not sure whatoil was in it before but I didn’t seem to have any issues. I hooked a mechanical gauge up and the line filled with oil and held 75 at cold temps. However, when the engine is cold now at idle I hold 28 pounds and the oil line to the gauge won’t...
I believe on a factory OEM oil pan, the "full" mark on the indicator falls near the top lip of the oil pan. So in theory, if you measure how much water it takes to fill your oil pan to the top, you'll have a good idea of it's capacity.
That said, I've heard some say the purpose of the deeper...
I would go with what the manufacturer put in the compressor for use. These systems are not very large and linesets and evap/condenser are about equal sizes. If you add too much oil in, it will degrade the cooling capability.
Is there a sticker on the compressor? It states oil fill.
Yes, have a repop sending unit and I guess I shouldn’t complain with the Autometer gauge telling me what’s up. Factory gauge is about 10-15psi off depending what motor is doing.
So now that I'm over the shock, I still want to find it. With heads and water pump off, how can I pressure the system to check for the intersect? Run the oil pump with some cheap oil and look for leaks somewhere?
Would be nice if I could pressure the oil system with say 30 psi of air and see...
The oil slinger was installed correctly. That is what happens to a lot of them w certain double row timing chains, not from a grinder. Leaves lots of metal in oil obviously. I removed my slinger as it doesn't make any difference.
Alrighty ...
I have been working on assembling the 318 that's going in my 65 Coronet.
Tonite I Installed the oil slinger and felt seal that goes in front of the slinger.
Installed the fuel pump. Lubed the pushrods on each end and reinstalled the rocker shafts.
All went well.
So I took an...
Hey guys,
I just got a "new" to me 1968 Charger with a "rebuilt" 383. Come to find out the guy I got it from had 0 idea on how to build the car and did a lot of things very half assed.
The oil pressure gauge in the car doesn't work so hooked a mechanical gauge to it. I think the car sat for...
