A good read - Main Seal Installation and Oil Pan Sealing

Dodge Daroo :glasses7:

Long side in. At least that's how I did mine. I found that I didn't need to use weather stripping adhesive, even though the previous installer did. When I did the first install I didn’t like where the gaps were at the splits so I was able to pull out the strips and reinstall them right where...

I called Mike at MJM and he told me that they only do OEM rebuilds. He did recommend two other places but they were unwilling to do this build. There is Rick’s in Lakeside, I talked to Mario over the phone and wasn’t too impressed. I’m thinking about going over there and...

I would be honored if Mr. Dutra would work on my slant. I’m going to email him about buying one of his oil pump gears and maybe see if he knows of a good machinist in the San Diego area.

Thanks for the tips, I have since moved on. Now I’m trying to find a machinist that I can trust in the San Diego area. No one seems to be familiar with what you can do with a /6, and they don’t seem too excited about the opportunity to try.

$1300 to $1500 Plus shipping from Australia

I miss the seasons but weather in the 70's everyday ain't bad either. Plus I moved away almost 30 years ago. Good luck on getting the car, looks like a steel to me.

There's a map link on the ad. Turns out it's not to far from where I grew up. There's a good chance I saw that car driving the streets in its heyday. Haha

I'm considering doing a Scarebird conversion as well. From what I've heard and read is that they are very helpful over the phone and by email. I would give them a call on Monday. From what I understand the entire kit cost under $500 when you buy it from them, a bit cheeper if you buy the...

Is that Mike Smith a reissue? I wanted that board so much I bought the sticker and put it on my Nash board. I have a collection too but not much from that era that I would like to get rid of.

^The answer is no Now I'm having trouble getting the timing cover off. There seems to be two nipple studs that it is hanging up on. I've got every bolt out even the oil pan bolts. I know with experience I would just yank at it till it's out. Being that it is my first time I'm all timid...
