    Oil recommendation

    600 threads here on "what oil to use".. Use the search function and read for the day... or week! I've always just used dino 10W30 in my well varnished 383, rebuilt in 1978 for $300! But somewhere I got convinced to start spending my hard earned coin on Penngrade.

    1967 Hemi GTX restoration

    Paint drips- I can wet sand them off- but I was told that the oil pans were not painted great from the factory- so I left the drips

    Oil Level Question

    You asked about oil level. And im pretty sure dadabee's response was to that. And since we have all types of folks on here, you did mean oil pressure level when you asked? Because that's what that guage indicates, not the level of oil in the engine. And oil pressure is influenced by engine...

    My 1970 Super Bee 383 A31 car

    I guess it depends on that main seal leak. That cardboard is what collected overnight.

    OEM Big Block Oil Pump

    Why, he hasn't mentioned that he has a pressure issue.

    OEM Big Block Oil Pump

    The Hemi block has a 1/2" pickup tube provision. Not the pump itself. I would put a mechanical gauge on the second oil pressure port at the back of the block, and see what pressure the pump is actually providing.

    Valve Train Noise after Cam Break-In

    Oil pressure ok? Have a reliable gauge? VR1 is good quality oil, but what viscosity did you use, mineral or synthetic?

    I have just completed putting together a brand new a/c system on a '70 charger, 383 engine. every component is identical to the original parts except for the compressor which is a Sanden 5DSH. The compressor came with 4.5 ounces and the instructions stated "that it was sufficient for the whole...

    Hood Pins : What Where When and Why?

    So you don’t lose the big “cotter pins” when you check your oil at a gas station….like modern cars with the little cord attached to the gas cap

    New 360 build with oil leaking into coolant

    Hum....you're right. So I had no real test. But I swore I had air up top?? Well I have a proper tester coming tomorrow as I didn't have proper fittings for my air system. I'll give it another go from the sender this time...

    Does anyone know what this spring is from?

    Yesterday I swapped out the 741 open 8 3/4 for a brand new center section with 3.55 gears and an Eaton Trutrac from Quick Performance. Everything went smooth and I was breaking it in according to their instructions by driving for 15 minutes and then letting it sit for 30-45 mins. After the 3rd...

    Oil leak at times

    I’m not sure what your circled hole is, but there are two threaded plugs in the areas you describe (right/left) that plugged the back of the lifter galleys. (They can leak, but rarely). There’s also the rear main seal you mentioned (common oil leaking problem) and the front of the transmission...

    Water wetters! Snake oil or what?

    Since we're reaching into the dog days of Summer with big block cars that are hot under the collars, Who on here has had REAL world experience with a favored water wetter solution? There are so many products out there that promise running cool in the heat of the night, but which ones are the...

    1971 440 thermostat replacement temperature?

    Bob, It is an industry 'standard'. Same as quoted oil viscosity numbers...& many other things. Do people get a lab check of the oil viscosity before using the oil?? If what you are suggesting is correct, EVERY t'stat would need to be temperature tested BEFORE using it....would be a...

    Rear main cap and oil pump compatability

    I had a 318 short block built for me and I purchased a Melling M-72 oil pump separately. When going to install the mounting neck will not fit and I don’t want to force it. I check with my junker short block and it fit. The new rear cap is stamped 5-31 old (which fits) is stamped 1-31 can someone...

    Help me tear down and inspect my 440..

    ...what you have is lifters that bleed more oil in general, coupled with less time to replenish the oil into the lifters pressure chamber, and what oil is being put back in has air in it. The lifter can’t collapse as far(less lift and duration are lost) if the plunger is closer to the bottom...
