    I need mopar help in the DC, MD, & VA area

    One this to be wary of changing out a cam in a 40+ year old powerplant is this. You build the top you'll blow the bottom, build the bottom you blow the top. Bigger carb no problem.

    Hopefully just an old gasket.

    Good News! I guess since I didn't care about any of the others cars I have driven in the past...I never noticed, or checked to oil as often as I do with Root Beer. I have been notified, that I swiped the condensation off the side of the dipstick tube. Change in the weather etc causing. Valve...

    Hopefully just an old gasket.

    Its my dd. I've replaced all the leaking gaskets and put in a new radiator. As stated I hoping its just the fact that before me it wasn't being driven. Oil filter changed when everything else was done. I am down to one arm due to rotator cuff. So I am useless. Shop has it they will run tests...

    Hopefully just an old gasket.

    Been a good car owner, and only owning the car for less than 5k miles. I have been checking oil every 500 miles. Today...milk on the stick. I am hopeful it is only a gasket on a 40 year old 318 with 80k miles. Pray for Root Beer, she needs kind thoughts right now.
