Good suggestion ...Ill try that , but first will try using an endoscope camera setup which i'll have to borrow from a friend...that should hopefully detect it. remember,... i said that the both the distributor AND the oil pump drive were out when it fell in so it may have ended up in the oil pan???

Yes. tried but no luck..wondering whether it would have dropped thru into the oil pan?

Long story short, Not paying attention and knocked a small 1/8 spring washer down into the distributor /oil pump hole. ..."Oil pump drive was out as well". Can this washer cause problems by getting into the oil galleys or will it drop down past the camshaft into the oil pan, as per attached pic...

Recently did a full rebuild in my 360…. I put Manley S/S. Chevy 2.02 / 1.6 valves in which have a .100” longer stem. As a result, I had to measure and order custom pushrods. Comp Cams camshaft and lifters. Ran the cam in no probs as per the book and runs beautifully. Oil is 65 at startup and...

I am in the process of installing new cork side gaskets and rubber end seals in my LA 360. I have a couple questions. I notice that the cork gaskets protrude past the point where front and rear seals sit. Do they need to be trimmed to fit.? If not which end should overlap/underlap ...Front...

Hood Clearance /pinch weld seam hoses all OK. Shifter linkage issues was a concern i had, but i think that can be worked around. What type of driving dynamics??

I have to notch the oil pan on my 360sb. In order to fit rack and pinion p/steer rack. I need to get around 10mm clearance between rack and notch tunnel. I have fitted a pair of 6mm spacers on the engine mounts , but still probably need about the same again to give the desired clearance. . Is...

OK thanks for that...the next hurdle is that I am not sure if the baffled plate and gasket from the hardware kit in the pic below, is meant to fit between the block and the sandwich plate for a remote oil filter or is it installed only when a 90degree oil filter is attached to the block??...If...

I'm not sure which of the 2 fittings on the sandwich plate supplies oil to the remote filter and which is the return line fitting. Can someone point me in the right direction here?? Thanks

Thanks Guys...Just added blue loctite and torqued to spec
