    HDK Tubular Coil Over for Stock Steering

    If this is going to be cheaper than buying a full tube k member system I'm in. I am one of the many that have drooled over the websites with the only realization that the full k member conversions were just out of my financial reach. I'm in!

    Balancer tightening up to timing cover creating shavings.

    So I got it to work. I wanted to leave the new timing chain on the motor so I took a crank shaft oil slinger off a builder motor of mine and threw that on for extra clearance (didn't have one on my current build and it worked until this new timing chain setup) aswell I filed down the timing...

    Balancer tightening up to timing cover creating shavings.

    I have always pulled the balancers correctly with the right puller. But have put them on with the bolt incorrectly, with great results until now (shame on me I know).

    Balancer tightening up to timing cover creating shavings.

I was verifying that the cam thrust plate bolts were in place due to oil pressure problems... Now my problem is that once I started the 360 motor the...

But ARP sent the bolts for free and quickly once I called them. It seems to be an issue they get calls about often. So they had the fix...

    troubleshooting oil pressure

    The block was line honed before assembly. And I am using stock bolts to hold the oil pump on. The thing with the bolts is I had to call ARP and get two different main bolts to replace the ones sent in the kit as the bolts sent originally had a tall collar built in, because as you mention the...

    troubleshooting oil pressure

    Well the plugs are in place behind the thrust plate. So I'm not sure what it should look like when running the pump while looking at the front main bearings because I have never done it before. But it does hemorrhage alot of oil and its cold oil at that. It is a pretty instant smooth run out...
