    Why do I keep breaking rocker arms?

    About 8 years ago, I bought from a closing dealership what was advertised as a NOS set of Slant 6 rockers and shaft (all assembled) for my '72 Valiant. I questioned the "NOS" claim because of the box (I don't remember the aftermarket name that was printed on it ) but I was blinded at this "Great...

    Hmmmmm, 198 issues

    I like the Boost suggestion. Really, though, the 198 is a sweet engine, eager to rev and very smooth. You can take advantage of the revs with the 3 sp manual. I have a '74 Duster with 198/auto combo at 22K original miles and like it alot. I can't justify a V8 swap. The only thing I am...

    Nice to here from a slant 6 owner in Switzerland ! Until you get the oil consumption issue fixed I wouldn't worry about running synthetic. It is more important to have regular oil/filter changes with conventional motor oil and do not let the oil level get low. I have a few slant 6 cars and I...

    Part hunting for timing chain job

    What ever you do don't forget to put the oil slinger back in before you button it up like I did on my '72 Valiant 225. I got my parts on line for this at Rock. I got Cloyes brand. I have those on both of my Slant 6's.

    1986 Shelby GLHS Omni, 6900 miles Not mine

    Biff, The '86 OMNI GLHS was only available in Black. The Omni GLH and GLH Turbo were available in Blue, Red, Silver, Gold and Black. Never the less, which ever one your boss had, it was surely a HOOT. These cars are awesome.

    Never pulled a 6.

    From the cylinder head. There are 2 bosses, one near intake #3 and one near intake #5. Use both bosses at the same time. Have fun! Hope you are refreshening/rebuilding or hopping it up!

    Slant six paint recommendation, for whatever its worth.

    You'd need x-ray vision to tell the difference between the 198 and 225....LOL

    1974 was the last year for the 198. ( sweet running engine by the way )...mine has manual disc brakes and power steering and it's Golden Fawn....I will post some pics.

    Glad to see and hear about your results. The 198 in my 1974 Duster was painted using this great product and I am thoroughly satified with the results. Good Job from this Mobro!
