I’ve done almost all my own oil changes for the last 40+ years. When I got my new 6.4 Ram in ‘21 I decided I should get its oil changes done at the dealer so I had a solid record it was done on time, if I should have engine problems at some point and make a warranty claim on it. Also that 0W 40...

So with a 12.5 pinch, I should perhaps use a 6 or even a 5 NGK? I guess I could try them and see what color the tower and electrodes show. Just as a note, there are no signs of burning oil in the exhaust.

Took me a few minutes to get the name off the tip of my tongue. Covered work bench with it, but you need to wipe up oil. Doesn't suck up oil just don't let it sit.

Big news today, I finally got the engine to fire up albeit for only a short time. Of course no good deed goes unpunished, I had/have the following issues; 1. fuel lines were leaking (alot). Got them fixed as it seems I didn't tighten the lines back just before the tank... go figure. Also my...

You can do what LOWBIKEMIKE said to find level of oil, or you could put the bird in the pot before you take it out of the wrapper so you don't have to worry about water. The stand displaces next to nothing in the pot. Make absolutely sure it is thawed out

Hi all, Ordering a new oil pan gasket and pan stud kit for my '68 Super Bee. In the meantime, I have some drips on my concrete driveway. Using Dawn Powerwash, Brakleen, etc does nothing to get those stains up. What do you guys use to cleanup your oil stains off the concrete driveway...

I just started the .030 over 440, Edelbrock Performer cam and headers in my GTX on Wed. for first time. Used Lucas break in oil with no issues. Electric fuel pump and HEI converted Mopar dizzy. It scared me it started so fast and ran great. I had parked the dizzy at 10* before TD and it fired...

I wire brushed everything on a bench grinder because that’s what I had. After wire brushing the parts were soaked in acetone to degrease. They were dried with compressed air after soaking, latex gloves were worn to avoid contamination from body oils. Once dry the parts were placed in a mix of...

Fresh out of high school I got a job working in a garage. I was 17 years old, the year was 1991. Even then, we did oil changes in that garage for $19.99 and ran specials from time to time for much less. Working there led me to pay a lot more attention to signs in front of other garages...

Hey guys - just for my own information, does anyone know what harmonic damper I have on my 440? I’m also curious why it has 2 timing marks. The main ring is 7/8” thick. It’s obviously been around a while judging by the layers of paint…car was listed with a “steel” crank when purchased but...

Their cars don't have oil filters.... :)

From what I've read, going from 10W-40 to 20W-50 oil increases viscosity around 25%. Yeah, that'll make a profound difference in pressures. The downside is that the thinner oil flows quicker when cold, of course.

It's vitally important to check ALL aftermarket parts. Used factory stuff had much tighter quality control and if it visually looks ok, any stack up will at least run and function. It may smoke, leak, rattle, or tick but it will run. Aftermarket stuff sometimes is just a good decoy. It LOOKS...

Whole lot of difference between 30wt and 50wt. I'm not 100% with you on this because I've been thru this. I don't like heavy oils and use straight 30wt as my limit but an hv pump will only make marginal low rpm differences and I think he already an hv pump on the engine. Are you old enough to...

That's not a stock pump. The plate between the pump and pblock and the pump cover are both Milodon pieces. The only stock item is the pump itself. And the oil pan for that unit would not be "stock" either. So just what are you trying to accomplish. As for that cast iron "standard" pump, they're...

If you’re referring to the flat spot on the outer lifter body, from what I can tell, it is just a minor flat spot below the oil band. This allows some oil to leak past and go down to the lobe. I can’t find an off the shelf Big Block lifter with that, I figure a machinist that does lifter...

What FSM are you reading? Generally a bottle of whale oil and about 2 quarts...

Doing some bonehead type thinking, I tried to find common denominators in the cams that have failed and the ones that survived. Of the engines that I have had, only 2 of them had camshafts/lifters fail while I owned the car and engine. I have a 360 in a 67 Dart that was re-ringed in around...

In my experience, lifter bore clearance bleeds more oil than large bearing clarances. You have proven what those in the know have said. Relief spring pressure has nothing to do with idle pressure. You've also learned that water temp and oil temp take two very different time lines to achive. The...
