I have three Chrysler Rallye Rims 15 x 6.5
They are not rims slammed into curbs. They should just need bead and paint. Let me know of you need more pictures.
I will not have access much longer this time of year. If you are interested get in touch.
I'm not familiar with date codes. They have...
Update:
The Melling pump was bad OR after speaking to Trickflow the Fram filter may have been the problem although I did have on on the high volume pump with no issues.
End all...I changed the pump and got minimum 50 psi.
There are no bent valves. I did pull the heads and checked everything...
So just an update. For piece of mind I did pull the heads. No damage. The puff of smoke should be rings still breaking in. Hopefully get back together before the big freeze.
I did flip the heads and also pour antifreeze in the combustion chamber. No leaking.
I will be able to set the lash now...
This first chart procedure was posted for me to use by someone that responded to a different post.
I used this method and it resulted in loud clatter. I don't know if it was poor lifter preload smacking valve stems because of a lack of oil pressure or valves smacking the piston. The noise did...
I will do that. Question is why now the puff of blue smoke and a miss?
Will too much preload in the incorrect cam position bend valves?
The cam is.530 lift and.286.6 duration
I have changed the NEW oil pump with an existing high volume pump I had and resolved the low oil pressure.
But now I have another problem that I hope isn't serious. I used the chart above and after restarting the engine heard some clapping noise that did eventually go away thinking it was...
I did start the engine. It did produce the oil much better pressure. I'm not sure what went wrong with the melling pump. I removed the spring and plunger easy enough with a magnet. I get over 50 psi now.
New problem. I adjusted the valve preload previously thinking it might have been the...
Thank you for taking the time to respond and give advice on the procedure.
I did remove the pump thinking I wanted the high volume feature anyway and I know it worked well on my engine before with less than 20,000 cause it was a season cruise only car.
The pump I removed looked like the...
My situation is I never felt much pressure when I primed the pump. Normally there is a significant amount of resistance when you prime. I have always used 1/2 drive drills because of the load on the drill while priming the oil system.
The drill just kept going with some but not a lot of...
I guess it could come to that if swapping the pump doesn't change anything. The motor in in the car assembled. Would you do this while priming the pump?
I have to double check which lifters I bought. I think Hughes but not 100 percent sure yet.
Thanks for the replies.
So the high lift of...
My recent issue is that I am not getting enough oil pressure that I think is related. Here is the post I recently put out there:
New Engine Build - Low Oil Pressure Problem
So how do I do that? Remove the intake?
Why would an oil band be exposed? Too high a lift? Are you talking about the groove in the lifter? This is a 530 lift cam.
Would this bleed be a huge problem during priming the pump without the engine running?
I thought I would ask the Mopar experts out there for their thoughts with my situation.
Some background:
I brought a 440 six pack engine to a builder to freshen it up with a more modern approach. The engine ran great except I had some bad gas clogging the filter and carbs. A freeze out plug...
