If you know you have the right amount of oil in the engine just put the dipstick in a little at a time checking the level after each time till you get it on the full mark. Just make sure the car is on level ground.

I used a Proto tools bar type puller. A small 3 arm puller would also work. When I put the new one on I put a couple layers of masking tape over the end of the pulley and used a Craftsman hard plastic hammer. It still kinda mars up the pulley but the cover hides it. I put the water pump and...

I didn't when I put mine on. I just used a puller and pulled it.

Looks good. Plus you took a little weight off. Can't wait to start mine.

If its a 489 I don't think you'll break it. A friend is running one in his Duster pulling the front wheels up 18" and carrying them almost to the 60' mark running 9.7 in the 1/4. If you don't have the weld on brace, then yes there is a good possibility you could break it.

I guess I should give more particulars. Don't need to drill all the way thru, 1/4" is more than enough and use never seize on the tap to catch shavings. I used 1/8" long set screws so you only need 2 good threads for them. For added security I center punched close to the edge of the hole after...

I had to run a 13/64" bit in my son's and tap them out to 1/4"-20. I didn't have the rocker arms on his yet, stuffed a rag in the intake ports in the head, just blew them out because both vaves were shut so the shaving had to come out the exhaust ports.

I think what he was asking is the compression of a stock motor. If it was a 2bbl. itis 9.2-1 if it was a 4bbl. it is 10.0-1.

As best I remember you are correct.

I just stand mine upright in a clean coffee can, pour a quart of oil in and let them set over night. When the engine is started they may tick for a minute or less.

Do you know what year the motor is and is it the original crank? Did it come with a balancer and you're just going to buy a new one? Here is a picture of my motor showing the balancer. It has a forged crank.

Love that orange ....but....mines blue.

I don't have a picture but when I rebuilt my son's 360 the gasket is the same diameter as the plate and only about 3/16" wide.
