    Bearing problem on 7 1/4" rear end

    Has anyone else had axle bearing problems on the little rear ends? I'm only getting around 5k - 10k miles on the axle bearings, they split around the circumference. This is a stock slant with a 904 and 2.76 gears. Before anyone tells me to replace it with a n 8 3/4" I want to say there must be a...

    Oil in distributor on 225

    You are right, the oil dripping is almost completely gone. The slight dripping may still be from a little bit of oil that still remains in the dist Thanks again

    Oil light stays on too long on a cold start

    I cleaned the oil pressure relief valve, it looked real clean and made no difference ...I changed the oil filter from a Wix 51806 to a Wix 51068 and so far the problem is gone. And I personally have never had a problem with a "remanufactured" engine.....I have though had problems with engines...

    Oil light stays on too long on a cold start

    It's been doing this for about the last 3 oil changes, all using the Wix 51806 filter...Has anyone had a problem with this filter?

    Oil light stays on too long on a cold start

    My 81-87 225 has an issue with the oil light staying on too long when you first start it, around the same length of time you see after an oil change. This engine is very sound, it's a rebuild from a parts store and has about 15,000 miles on it (no oil usage, no blow by) and I'm using 10W/30W oil...

    Oil in distributor on 225

    A new one came on the new distributor and I just tested it again and it still holds vacuum....I'm really feeling good about that plugged breather, that may be the problem

    Oil in distributor on 225

    Not such a dumb question....It has a factory?? chrome air cleaner and breather. I checked the breather with good old lip pressure and didn't get much through it so I blew in with 60psi compressed air and the foam filter blew out. There was an incredible amount of foam packed in that breather, I...

    Oil in distributor on 225

    All of what you said makes sense but the oil is IN the distributor not sprayed around it. I have also just changed oil and before I put the filter (Wix 51806) on I blew some low pressure air into the breather hole on the valve cover and I had air come out the filter hole. I did this to make sure...

    New PCV and an 1150 mile trip...oil still coming out the dist. about 1/2 quart I did notice at idle I have slight vacuum (using a paper towel over the breather) but at maybe 2,000rpm the towel starts fluttering. Normal??

    I totally agree there has to be a logical explanation but as of yet I haven't found it....will keep you posted! I have a 1200 mile trip coming up in a couple weeks so I'll see how it does!
