Don't tell me that! That's honestly first thing I read really bad about them, I know customer service isn't greatest.

Yea I do get s little gun ho and probably because this week I'm off and start new job next and don't want to mess with this then. Anyway intakes off now, it was sucking oil bottom of gaskets were soaked with oil and the im runners too. I figured it was this for sure when I pulled carb off to...

To answer some questions I decided on heads because if it is rings my motor builder is going to eat it one way or another. Untill I fixed heads he would of blamed it on something else. The heads came with springs that would take up to .500 lift, my cam is a comp .484, could this still cause an...

I installed new heads on my 360 motor and I have some blueish smoke coming from my exhaust, which I know is burning oil. Give you some background, i changed out heads because i was using a qt of oil a tank of gas. I talked to the guy who built the motor and he said that the heads probably needed...

Yea I don't plan to run the car much past 5500 anyway, might get a slightly bigger can but I have 1.6 rockers too of forgot to add that will help with the current cam. Only other thing is to check the valves with those Pistons just to make sure they don't touch. Also anyone have a part number...

Was looking at road race style oil pan, i plan to do a lot of street driving and hopefully few autoxs this year. I have the RMS set up and like the price of the Kevkos, was wondering if anyone had experience with any or could recommend a part number for kevko. Also motor is .060 over 360, eddie...

I have a manual 6 speed in the car with .05 overdrive, 18-2k is estimated woth 4:56 , right now I have 3:91 and isn't enough gear. I calculated tire size, gears and trans gears, and 35,45,60-70 are all going to be around that 2k mark. And overall I'm worried about piston clearance and...

I havent measured the clay, waiting for it to harden and they mic it. Also Im running a 6 speed trans and 4:56 out back so really I dont think a big cam would be an issue for me. But itll prob be driven around town a lot too, and with my over drive ill be around 2k at 70 would that be an issue...

I got some clay and double checked the quench area and looked real good, solid clay all the way through and good thickness, and this was with a used felpro gasket that's .045 thick. I attached a photo

I got my Pistons measured pretty accurately with my dial indicator. Piston deck is below the block deck height .025 and the highest point in the dome is above the block deck .020 .

I thought I added this but I measured with a straight edge and feeler gauge and the pistons the highest point is .036 out of the hole. I'm picking up a tool from my buddy to measure it exactly and will update tonight.

Well I have attached a pic just for s&g , I appreciate all the help, I'm still learning a lot and didn't realize how much more detail this really required 😑🔫 but I understand when your trying to reach a specific combo you have to get specific. I know from testing I won't hit the...

Ok I really was trying to avoid messing with the pistons at all but looks like thats the safe bet anyway. My dad will be at indy show this weekend, I may have him look for different pistons also.

Ok great info, I'll talk to my machinist about those couple options. Now anyone have any thoughts on running street motor with 11.5:1 comp? And would a different can help streetability?

Ok long story but I had a 360, .060 built with x heads, KB pistons kb190, comp 20-671-4 (.484/.484, 284/.291 duration), airgap intake, stock crank, everything has been balanced. Now I came across some Edelrbrock 6077 360 heads I want to put on it, I am worried that It will be too high of...

I understand , just tying to get to a rough idea, are these like 14:1 or like 9:1? It's a street motor and want to run on pump gas, just making sure they will.

I am looking at purchasing these for an LA 360, Im running a Eddy 360 heads, not decking block or anything. Any idea of what compression itll make? Also these have rods on them and was set up for a magnum motor, will rods and pistons interchange on la to magnum? Probe SRS 12351-030 piston...

Yea I know the balancing sounded odd, started off that it was going to be balanced exactly like my 340, and I was ok with that, then when motor was done, my motor guy was trying to save me a few pennies I think and did the half and half thing, I'm still learning and just took it as it was ok...

The power steering pump pulley is maybe 1/8" behind the crank pulley when your looking at the belts lining up, and is because 360 dampner is larger than the 340, would it really cause a vibration that bad? I can feel vibration in steering wheel, shifter, seat everything shakes! Thanks agin

Ok i guess I didn't ask that that if it was the motor it would vibrate in neutral correct? I'll try those couple of things to te verify that it doesn't vibrate in neutral with or without clutch engaged etc. I appreciate all the help, I'll update a little later when I try the couple things above...

I watched the drive shaft get balanced, it was out by few grams , new u joints last year (less than 100 miles on everything) rms suspension frees up lot of space, no broken mount, I assume has to be something with that crank balancing and my flywheel. Also my 8 3/4 was just torn apart and...

Sorry it does vibrate in gear going down the road, but not when in neutral sitting in the drive. That's the only thing I have changed since last yea r is the motor and I assume that's my problem. I had clutch out and checked its fine, but now if I have flywheel balanced could it effect anything...

Ok I'll start off by letting you know I have a 72 dart with a fresh built 360, 10.5:1 comp .484 comp cam, motor builder had the back half of crank internally balanced, and front half balanced with a 360 dampner so I could use my 340 flywheel and not have to get it balanced. I have a t56 six...

Thanks for all the info! Yes it's the vr1 stuff so glad I bought the stuff up, I got it like $.50 a qt few years ago, they were discontinuing this line of oil when I worked at an auto parts store! I forgot all about it until I came across it buried under stuff in garage lol

No flat tappet or roller :( just hydraulic, used some Lucas break in oil, and then I'll use that valvoline 10-30 racing oil cause I have enough for 5 changes so......

Thanks for all the help, another question after break in I came across this old valvoline racing oil that's 10w30 has added zinc and stuff, heck it even states on front of bottle off-road use only lol....,, anyway would 10w30 be ok for summer in ohio?

I picked up Lucas break in oil to start with, what do you guys recommend after that? Synthetic vs non? Weight recommendations, I live in ohio , no winter driving just spring to fall

Ok I'll start off with what's going on, I put a new cam and lifters in my 340 last year, I broke the motor in with Lucas oil zinc additive and 30w rotella, I drove the car maybe 500 miles, had a couple issues and come to find out the rings were all bad. I built a fresh 360, just had the crank...

Yes I'm trying to stay cost efficient, so I guess that's my biggest thing is should I get another cam, if so what is a good cam to choose? Something with good sound and power but streetable.

Yes sorry it has a six speed and running 4:11s. Just wondering if I go bigger cam will it make a little more power or should I really consider some eddy heads?
