    Oil leak

    First thing is check your oil psi sending unit which has a tendency to leak having oil to run down to under your engine which make you believe you have a rear main leak or even a oil pan gasket leak..

    Starter Removal

    Ditto. I had to do the exact same when removing my starter from my 340 and I have a mini starter also. The biggest problem I had was removing the electrical clip connector on the top of the starter while the starter was still mounted.

    Cheap Summit headers install SUM-G9040

    Headers look nice BUT over a short period of time the paint will burn off leaving paint flakes. I have sand blasted them, heated them up to the required recommended temp before applying the VHT 2200 degree High Temp paint coating which is suppose to not peel or flake. Within 100 miles the paint...

    340 exhaust manifold torque specs

    The key to this question is I have never used a torque wrench and once you have tightened the bolts down be sure to check and retighten them after the car has reached operating temp. They will indeed need to be snugged up a little more..

    727 Transmission Pan torque

    Yes it is a 340 but automatic. I found the problem and it was not the tranny pan gasket which I thought it was, it was a bad O-ring on the dip stick tube. Replaced it and no more leaks.

    Engine Temp LA 360

    My recommendations in which I did just this same thing when my 340 was running close to 205 consistantly, Install a fan shroud and move your fan further back from the radiator and doing this will allow for more air flow over more of the radiator. I also have a 180 degree Thermostat and my 340...
