    65 satellite auto shifter neutral lock out.

    Hi mate. No handle lift into reverse. Just straight through. Yeah that will be my next step pulling the top off to have a look when I get back to the car in 2 weeks.

    65 satellite auto shifter neutral lock out.

    Hi guys. Just wondering if anyone has come up with a way to lock out Neutral to stop accidental shifting through 1 2 D into N on a stock Satellite auto console shift? I don’t want to go to a reverse valve body. Can a small tab be welded onto the gate plate or anything nifty like that? Please...

    Lifter Failure after brand new rebuild run in.

    Thanks for that but if that were the case, none of the lifters would have pumped up at all and they all did at some stage.

    Lifter Failure after brand new rebuild run in.

    Even if they sent me new ones, I wouldn’t use them.

    Lifter Failure after brand new rebuild run in.

    Thanks mate. Just read it. Very relevant to me and what seems to be going on here.

    Lifter Failure after brand new rebuild run in.

    No signs of any of that stuff. It’s the scuffing on each lifter that has me stuffed too. It’s consistent with not enough lifter surface remaining in bore at full lift resulting in the lifter becoming out of parallel with the bore.

    Lifter Failure after brand new rebuild run in.

    I can measure it tomorrow. I don’t have the item number because the engine builder has not given it to me and I can’t get hold of him.

    Lifter Failure after brand new rebuild run in.

    Thanks mate. Yeah I have read all the info on the 440source page about blocks. Very good info. I will look at going down the solid roller avenue. As long as my lifter bores are ok. If not, I guess it will be a full year down again and maybe drop longer bushings into them.

    Lifter Failure after brand new rebuild run in.

    The oil band isn’t exposed, but the lifters don’t seem to have enough skirt all the way down over the roller like other better brands do therefore not enough surface area remains in lifter bore at full lift resulting in extreme side loading.

    Lifter Failure after brand new rebuild run in.

    Hi All. Looking for a little American knowledge all the way over from here in Australia. After being in the shop for 2 years, due to some component failure by previous owner, I finally received my 400/500 stroker back from the engine builder with a Comp full hydraulic roller package instead...

    Adjustable strut rod fitment

    Damn. I'm halfway through putting my front end back together which means I'll have to hold off until I get the new rods then. I'm in Australia so I'll have to wait 2 weeks for the things to arrive. So annoying. Wish I'd noticed that they were bent before I ordered my PST kit. Just want to drive...

    Adjustable strut rod fitment

    Hi. Does anyone know if any of the adjustable strut rods on offer have enough adjustability to be fitted to the car without having to break ball joints and disconnect the lower control arm etc? My stock ones have a curve in them so I was thinking I could just cut the old ones in half to remove...

    New lower control arm bush but when I grab the pivot shaft, there is play in it? Help

    Hi, thanks for the response. Will definitely get a pair of those! So after you welded them on and pulled the lower control arm members together, did it eliminate any play of the pivot shaft?

    Anyone got any ideas? Anyone rebuild a front end lately?

    New lower control arm bush but when I grab the pivot shaft, there is play in it? Help

    Hi. I'm in the process of rebuilding the front end of my 66 Coronet as it would not hold a wheel alignment and had crazy +ve wheel camber when I accelerated hard but when I braked it would return to normal. I have pulled one side apart and fitted a PST poly graphite kit. I am using a rubber...
