    340 Roller Cam/Lifter Issues.

    Good Evening all. Just wanted to get some advice on this one. I had to pull my engine due to an oil pump issue and losing pressure to the passenger head. I had lots of knocking and decided to pull the engine. After getting into it, I discovered lots of purple and green paint chips all...

    340 build plan for the second time!

    OK guys, after talking with multiple machine shops around town I have found one that I trust. Hopefully I will not get screwed a second time like I did with Crooks (Brooks) Performance! I am planning to go to Lawrence Auto Machine in Hanford, Ca. Talking with him and showing him my motor, this...

    340 rebuild suggestions

    OK, I am at the stage of my restoration when its time for the motor. I was getting ready to re-install the motor when my Dad brought up a good point. The motor has been sitting around for about 10 years without being started. The motor was running good when pulled from the car, but has been...
