    What's the best way to find a dead cylinder?

    Infrared gun told me #4 was pumping @ambient temperature. I had drilled out a jets on a BBD which mad it pig rich on the dyno. I may have wiped the rings on my low mileage 198. It has been sitting since 2009. Driving over the road left me no time to play with it. When I came off the road it was...

    Offy SB intake…. Any good??

    A 2 plane manifold of any brand is a 180* intake. Technically speaking any single plane is a 360. Offy just grabbed the term to sell intakes.

    Offy SB intake…. Any good??

    To my knowledge Offy never built a dual plane. The 360* is the designation for a single plane. IIRC all of their V8 intakes were marked 360*. I have one sitting on the top of my 360 in my work van. It has the 318 sized ports as the manifold I wanted was 340/360 specific. It ran fine with a Comp...

    Troubleshooting Head Components

    240 Ford inline 6 had the valve seals laying in the bottom of the head. (claimed 9.2:1 factory compression) Tons of carbon in the chambers. 100K on it. Smoked bad, had tons of compression due to the clumps of carbon that made the chambers smaller. Tons of crap on the pistons too. Burned a lot...

    Troubleshooting Head Components

    Mopars have soft valve guides. Mic the stems, then mic the guides. I would really have the guides replaced without all the measuring.

    Troubleshooting Head Components

    I agree light sludge. Diesel oil is high in detergents. I run that in my cars. Rotella semi-synthetic. Had the intake off my '97 Lesabre a couple of weeks ago. I could see the valve stems. Clean like new. 230K+ on it. Really clean every where else.

    Thermoquad tuning on 318

    I'm wondering how much slop is in the primary throttle shaft. It will create a lean condition as well.

    Aluminum intake clear coat?

    I bought the clear that mixed with a pigment. "Blaze" was the color. It required 250* for whatever time. I put the whole amount in there and it didn't come out red. More pinkish. I did one glass jar of clear in the Preval aerosol applicator. The hot side of the turbo I did Glacier black. No...

    Aluminum intake clear coat?

    They make clear coats that don't have to be baked in the oven. My oven was really stinky for quite a while. Didn't realize what I had bought.

    TorqStorm Supercharger build advice needed

    Mopars have soft valve guides. Rev it up, lift and look at the tail pipe. If it is sucking oil through the valve guides you will have blue smoke. WIFI cameras are really cheap, Look and see if you have a bunch of crud on the top surfaces of your valves.
