    No oil to top end

    thats the interesting part, we got flow off both of the brand new pumps in a bucket of oil which is why i thought there was no way they were bad. Apparently they just arent pushing Enough.

    No oil to top end

    Update, we made a tool to spin the oil pump with a drill while 1 person turned the motor over, Still no oil. Repeated the process off and on for about 5 hours. Nothing. Not one drop. We pulled the oil filter, turned pump over with a drill and oil was running out of the filter hole steadily...

    No oil to top end

    No. Everything on the motor was untouched and unmodified from factory. All we did was intake gasket timing chain and oil pump and put it back together. (With new gaskets ofc) heads were never off it either. We managed to get the oil drive gesr out today. Trying to find stuff to make a tool to...

    No oil to top end

    UPDATE: installed brand new oil pump, still no oil to top end. To re iterate more clearly, absolutely nothing on the motor was touched outside of pulling the intake, putting a timing chain in, and cleaning the rockers/lifts/pushrods, then reassembly. No cam swap, no cam bearings ext....i dont...

    No oil to top end

    Engine fan

    Got a 360 LA in my truck that didnt have the fan when i bought it, having trouble finding an original LA fan too, are the newer magnum style clutch fans a bolt on fit?

    Retrosound Radio. YUCK 2/10

    Thats a good idea too, especially for your application. I need something a little more permanent cuz its not uncommon for me to drive the Duster every single day if the weather is nice, and i like to go on long drives and zone out to old tunes. Im just gonna hide a modern radio with bluetooth app.

    Proof that you cant just assume if the price is expensive the product must be good. Lesson learned.

    Been saving up for one of those fancy Retrosound radios that is supposed to be just like our factory units but with modern features like bluetooth, ax, USB charging ext. Well...if it sounds too good to be true...it probably is. The unit showed up and the very first thing about it I noticed...
