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...

I noticed from this picture that there is a coolant passage near the last stud I’m trying to get out. Do you think I could get the red nozzle on my Kroil can through the coolant passage hole to the back end of the stud and soak the threads from the inside?

I’m rebuilding the motor and I want to change out everything that I can. The manifolds studs are 35 years old, each one I’ve pulled is rusted on the end and the threads don’t look to healthy. Plus I would believe it would be easier for my machinist to work on the head without 13 little pricks...

I believe the first time I ever saw one of his commercial was in a Chevy Chase movie. It wasn’t till 1985 when I moved to Southern California and got to see them on the regular. The lyrics to the Go See Cal song is part of the American lexicon. I knew the lyrics to the song before I moved...

These are the studs i'm talking about.

Every Slant Six ever built used studs to affix the manifolds to the head. Over the years some people switched them over to bolts for some reason. I have the nuts off, the manifolds off, now I'm trying to get the studs out of the head. I'm going to barrow a torch from a friend so maybe I'll...

^I think a PM would work better. As for the water pump I had to yank on it pretty hard to get it out. Does anyone have a better way then Kroil and Vicegrips to pull the intake/exhaust studs? I've soaked them for 2 days and 6 of them refuse to budge. the other ones were no cake...

Anyone? I'm about to go in the garage again. I'll see if I can make a video, 'cause it just doesn't make sense.

Whoa that is one of my new fears. I was pulling the bolts on the water pump and it was getting a little bouncy when I had to use a breaker bar on one of the bolts. Speaking of water pumps, has anyone ran into any trouble separating the pump from the engine? The first thing I did on my old...

Thanks Vali68. I went ahead and put the plate on it trying to get the center of gravity as low as I could. Then I lifted the stand onto the plate and lowered my hoist to let the stand sit firm on the ground and straightened the slant. I'm going to leave the cherry picker on till I take...

Wait! Should I take off the flex plate first? Man I really am bad at this haha

Found this http://www.slantsix.org/forum/engine_stand

I can't wait to get started but I have to wait for the sun to go down before I go in my garage. Thanks Charrlie I should have read the Super Six article again to remind myself. They delivered the engine today and forgot to bring the air cleaner. I called the manager and told him about it...

Thanks Charrlie! I've got a push button tranny and a '69 engine, that's why I think I've either have the bushing or a later tranny already. I was planing on using the early motor mounts, now I know I need the early oil pan and pick up too. I've found quite a few on craigslist. I definitely want...

I was amazed to find one in San Diego, I've heard they are rare in California. The junkyard has had this one for a while, they just listed it wrong on craigslist (good for me, bad for everyone else,) so none of my searches found it. A coworker found the listing when he was searching El Camino...

I've been in the market for a new to me /6 since my started smoking. After looking for six months I finally found one and it's a Super Six! Took a look at the engine today and it will be delivered tomorrow. It is from a '77 Aspen station wagon, I noticed that the motor mounts are completely...
