thanks for the reply I don’t see any rubber squeezing out, but I’ll keep an eye on it. I did go through finding and painting a TDC mark on the damper using a piston stop, I think it’s pretty close (not near factory mark). I painted a line across the face of the disks. I’ve only driven it a few...

Thank you, great information. I painted a line on my damper and will monitor it to see if it really slipping, I guess I’ll go back and check for TDC with the piston stop and go from there. Thanks for the replies and info Merry Christmas Bill

Actually the crack is in the metal die casting. I’m not in a hurry for anything on the list, these are just a few things that make the car a little shabby Thanks Bill

Hi Chris There are a few other things on my wish list; Glove box door hinge Left rear wheel arch trim Right rear tail light assembly, I have a crack in mine Rear 293 axle I currently have a 323 Good windshield, mine is kind of pitted Merry Christmas Bill

When I tried to time my 225 slant 6 in my 1962 Dodge Lancer, I found that the timing mark was at least 90 degrees off. I established a new mark using a piston stop. I checked the timing again and found that it had moved again, so I assume it’s time for a new balancer. I believe that I can have...

Well we’re almost neighbors. We live on Kerr lake, north of Henderson, only about 40 min away! I’m excited to have a fellow Lancer owner so close. Bill

Hi Chris I still could use a wheel or two, I’m in no hurry. Where are you located, thinking that we will probably be passing through Georgia in the next few months. Thanks for your reply Bill

Thanks for the well considered and detailed reply. I will work on the balancer next, I thought I might as well line up a chain, gaskets and seals, I didn’t think about the gears, I’ll have to look into that. I’m looking for a post describing how to pull and replace the balancer. Many thanks Bill

things are looking up. I replaced the cap and rotor and checked the timing. That seems to have things running much better, I had the exhaust replaced today which really quieted things down. I guess my next job is to replace the harmonic balancer so I can time it correctly. I’ll be looking for...

Hi Thanks for the reply I have a glass fuel filter and the fuel and filter element look clean, I’m going to pick up a valve cover gasket tomorrow. I’ve adjusted the valves on a couple of hot, running 218 flat head engines, you have to crawl into the wheel well and work under the exhaust...

:thumbsup:

Might be a nice ride, but I think I’m all set Thanks Bill

Wow, all of this information is a lot to absorb. Today I pulled the plugs and distributor (needed to center the bottom screw). I noticed what looked like some carbon scoring inside the cap so ordered a new cap and rotor. I then did a compression test. 4 cylinders read 130 lbs 1 @ 135 lbs and...

Thanks for all the replies. I’ll check compression, while the plugs are out, I’ll pull the distributor so that I can get at the screw underneath, currently the distributor is retarded as much as possible. I’ll also recheck the timing mark with the piston stop, and try to see how much play there...
