...cam lobesI can see looks like they have begun to wear in normally. I am now in the process of putting the motor in my car and am wondering what oil i should run for the next few thousand miles to continue breaking it in. The motor is a .030 over 440 with ported rebuilt factory heads, an old...

My 440 seems to be a little slow picking up oil pressure if the car has sit for several weeks. The engine is fresh with maybe 1,000 miles. It has a 402 pan/pickup and everything was normal there when I built the engine. I run 10w30 oil in in the engine and it currently has an STP oil filter...

Bought a stud kit for a sb engine, the rear stud is short of bottoming out in the block and the nut is nearly too tall for oil pump clearance, was going to contact ARP about a longer stud and a shorter nut and washer to clear the oil pump, figured I'd throw it out there to see what others have...

Is most likely due to oil wicking up through the intake manifold bolts. My question is what do I use to seal the threads from transferring oil upwards eventually winding up on the pan? I don’t want to pull the manifold as it’s sealed up very well on the intake side, seemingly no air leaks...

My 66 Charger came with a 360 with a 1973 date code. I have no idea what has been done to this engine prior to my ownership. I upgraded the front end to Disk brakes and a Borgeson power steering unit. While bolting my new Power Steering pump in the bolts that bolt into the water jacket pulled...

So the beauty ring that covers up the center of the oil pressure/fuel gauge in rallye cluster is missing. Does anyone know where I could possibly find a replacement? It would be nice to cover the center of the needles to give it that finished look that it should have. Not even sure what this...

Two questions please. 1. Can a rebuilt stroked engine with 100 miles on engine but only 30 miles on recent oil change have dirty oil on dipstick? See pics for plug and soot on my finger from exhaust pipe. Car has only been driven easy do to other issues such as brakes. 2. If the engine is a...

...leans more toward practical application and science over widespread opinion. While some sources suggest that roller cams don't require special break-in oil—since the cam and lifters are already roller-bearing and don't rely on the same hig… What oil for roller cam break-in the motor oil geek

...except 1” torsion bars, possibly upgraded but stock configuration steering. For an engine whose main purpose is hot street use, I wonder what oil pan you recommend that is also compatible with the windage tray that I have. Milodon 30930, 30761, 31580 are contenders, but I am open to other...

Normally you'd think that would do it but now what I've been seeing is adding any additional additive to a good oil upsets its additive package and actually make the oil much worse. The more I research this oil stuff the more confusing it gets.

Greetings! I did my first oil change on a big block Mopar last night. I looked up the recommended filter for my car and came up with the WIX 51515. After draining the oil I removed the old filter, put a little oil on the new filter gasket, and tried to install it. Note: I didn't fill it with oil...

With my older hotrods I just add a pint of Lucas Oil zink additive at each oil change no matter what oil brand I use and no problems no worries, keep it simple guys.

Oil pressure gauge sending units have such a varied price range. Is this a true example of ‘get what you pay for’. Or is manufacturer more important for accurate readout? NOS could be fine but not critical. Thanks! :thankyou:

Do Mopar oil filter's have a date code? what is the shelf like on a filter? Stored in cellar with a dehumidifier? 04884899AC BLACK.

i have a 360 that came out of a 1990 d150. im putting the engine into a 1973 charger. What type of oil pan would i need. Are all oil pans the same? can i just find an oil pan for a 360 for a b body and that will work or will it differ because of the motor year?

I’m getting ready to pull the 4 speed in my 66 to see what it needs. I’ve always had some oil of some kind at the lower front of the transmission and never 100% sure if from the rear main or the transmission. Well, today I cracked the bolts loose to the bellhousing before having to quit for...

Drain the oil and switch back to what you were using.. noise gone?

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. $10.00. Local pickup, or buyer...

I went to check my oil level because I noticed a little more oil under the car than usual. Found that the dipstick and dipstick holder (not sure what it’s cslled) are not even connected to the engine block. Just hanging there. No idea when this happened. Drove it yesterday just fine. I was...

Hi, What are you using for a priming tool?? Screw driver with the handle broken off??
