Thanks to all who have posted here . You know, after coming down from super pissed off mode, my head was cleared to digest the damage. I think the door can be saved ( fingers crossed). Quarter is not terrible . I hope the old paint can be matched.

Thanks, I'll give them a call tomorrow. Many parts have come from them for my car. They are always great to deal with .

Heading south 404 to 401 lots of braking and "pos" following too close, in right lane to me. Driver swerved to the left and tagged a suv on passenger side bumper. This turned him 90 deg into my lane. I had no place to go. OPP charged driver with careless. Thank God no one was hurt.

Thanks, Once Hagarty is done, I'll check with Keith

Hello all, Bad day yesterday . My 1968 Dart GT convertible was side swiped on the highway. Now I’m looking for some body parts. I’m looking for passenger fender, Passenger door ( are convertible doors different than hardtop). Passenger quarter and GT side trim. I’m up in Toronto Canada . Closer...

I Great tip! Mocking up with heads on, and pushrods in. The link bar buttons lose some clearance at full lift. Back to a bit more clearance grinding.

Hello All, Just wondering what minimum clearance is required between link bar ,button and pin to block would be acceptable? I'm using Comp 828-16 lifters in my 318 roller block. After grinding I can get a .015" feeler gauge all around and under the pin to block. I'm concerned about growth when...

I have small scuff on the cylinder side of the top and a small scuff on the bottom cam side. This I would expect due to lifter angle. I have not measured. I’ll check that tonight.

More street than strip. My 318 with the solid 528 Flat tappet, 3.91,3200 stall 904 28” tire ran 13.0 Last year. I was hopping for 12’s this year with the hydraulic roller. The spring pressure is 340lbs at 1.188 and close to 110 closed .

Thank you for the information. A lot of people never look for the problem that takes out parts. I read a lot about "it died and they sent me a new one". In my line of work (boilers and furnaces) most manufactures don't care about their products when it comes to operational defects or parts...

I had all pushrod holes opens up (eddy 60779). This cam was new this season. Had springs changed to meet cam card. I put about 600 miles on assembly. The lifters were sometimes a bit noisy after car sat for a week or so. All in all it worked great. I really need to watch the tach once I’m back...

A rotator might be a good idea to keep pushrod cup from staying in one place?

I was setting preload to .045" . The marks on lifter were about .070". I'll take apart another pair of good lifters once i get my new set. Just wondering if the push rod plunger rotates?

Hello everyone. Autopsy done on collapsed ( crane hydraulic roller) lifters. 3 that collapsed had markings inside lifter body ( see pics). Pushrod cup didn’t want to come out. After I got them out , I found the marks on the inner bore of the lifters on the cylinder side only not any marks on...

Who has these rivets? They are hard as hell. I used a grinder to remove rivet and washer. Then a punch to get remainder out. Do any oem use link bars?

I was a dumb ***. I went from a solid flat tappet to the hydraulic roller over last winter. All parts are Crane. I forgot to lower MSD box from 7700 rpm to 6500. I figure **** came apart at 7200 rpm. I'm now going to stick a " $ " sticker to my right foot. :(:BangHead:

How are hydraulic rollers ( retro link bar) supposed to be serviced with rivet in the way of the parts coming out? Had three collapse yesterday . I found three lifters with bent “C” clips. The only way into lifter is to remove rivet. Ya ya I know. Hydraulic lifter bad, but they are in my...

Yes. Roof has a sunroof , not so good around sunroof . Floor is solid.

I have a buddy with a Doug Nash in a 9 second fox body mustang. He is parting out the car. The trans also has a vertigate shifter. Its up in Toronto

Thanks for the reply. Its so hard to tell if they were polished or satin from the factory. Before I go and start wet sanding and polishing I thought I'd ask. There are so few GT's in my area to see. I know the grill and trunk panel are satin. Guess I will keep checking pics on line.

Hello All, Was the belt line trim (front to back) a satin finish or was it a polished when new ? Thanks, John

Try some lash caps. Also try a feeler gauge to see clearance hot (valves Closed). You may not have any lifter preload on a few lifters?

I have Crane 1.6 roller rockers .038" 1008 felpro If its cold enough i can run 89 , Hot days 91 octane

Sorry for the lack of participation in my own post (HVAC service is killing me). First off, id like to say that there is not one bad idea or piece of advice. This form is so full of amazing people that want to help. I say thank you. The front of the engine is coming apart over the holidays...

Thank you thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. Man I thought psychometric’s were fun. I have a lot of measuring to do . Thank god it’s winter time. Is there a “go to”online for a bit more depth on your math? Thanks AJ

60 ft is soggy. 1.88-1.90 . If I can create more pumping compression at a lower rpm then the 105 would be my 12.50 ( more torque). I know small engines don’t make big torque but I do like the challenge of small displacement . The car is street driven , I’m not sure on the higher stall. Leaving...

Hello all. Running 318,30 over, KB 167 0 deck, stock length rods, stock crank (3500 miles on short block). Edelbrock 60779 heads ( not ported). 1.6 rocker arms compression ratio at 9.8:1. I was running a Mopar p#p4120653 “528” solid flat tappet cam ( it was on the shelf). Pumping hot averages...

I forgot..... 8-1/4 1974 Dart thanks.

I am looking for info to build a bearing pre-load tool. What size is the hex on the cups? I think a big nut welded to a piece of pipe or bar? Any input much appreciated! John
