Summit was selling it? Summit stops selling it like after inventors lawyers sent them a letter?

My other cat. Vet says kitty needs a diet but my other cat needs to gain weight. So yeah I guess fat kitty gonna stay fat.

Same thing happened to me 20 years back or so. Catastrophic water pump crack, fan went into radiator, busted up fan shroud. I think root cause was 1/2 inch spacer between fan and water pump threw fan balance off. Cast iron water pump. Luckily no damage to hood. Was trying to get better...

Yep a shop is gonna want to tear it all apart and address all deficiencies otherwise they won't accept the car. No way to know what all is mickey moused up otherwise. And there is a nation wide shortage of auto mechanics these days to boot.

Dished pistons, larger cam, lifter pre load was set at what, what was compression before and after, was eng orig or rebuilt, was cam degreed in, what is dist curve, what is air fuel ratio reading etc etc etc.... Most mechanics shops around me would not touch that car unless you let them do a...

Sounds like a top end kit was put onto engine in unknown condition now its weaker then before? Now need to find a mechanic to hand car over to to figure out? What was state of engine before swap? No one knows.

Trying to reuse original low compression dished pistons short block?

We had some 70 and 80 degree days then winter came back.

I just watched video of green Dart. Super impressive how nice that car is.

Awesome congrats!! Staying tuned in for burn out video!!

Yeah doesn't make any sense lifters are not sending or restricting oil flow. On a mopar where they have shaft rockers oiled up through heads makes sense but most other engine oil up through push rods.

Engine builder probably ordered lifters, that what showed up, threw them in there. Why didn't engine builder run oil pump with drill and verify oiling before intake bolted on is beyond me. All kinds of problems can be caught fixed corrected by checking verifying. But no, its hey lets be dumb...

And burn out video once car is all sorted out....

Waiting to see if oil gets pushed up through all 16 rockers when you run oil pump with drill.

I wouldn"t but dont care if others LS swap into what ever. Put mopar eng into chevy I wouldn't but if some one else wants to dont care have at it.

Mancini drives bad *** big power open header mopar race cars into Carlisle and parks them by their tent. Giant Mancini Racing plastered on sides of cars ect. Everyone stops what they are doing jaws dropped staring its quite the sight..

I bought a pinion seal and some other small part. Box was on my porch in a few days.

Yeah more pictures

Beautiful car and important part of history. Thanks for sharing.

You run Dart down track as part of event? Your all schooled up on china wall sealants now so thats a plus.

Right best to address the obvious, get that fixed, see what happens from there. Sure some other problem(s) may still exist. But if oil aint flowing up, soaking head, running down side of block, splashing oil everywhere causing a giant mess with ppl screaming shut the engine off, then yeah its...

I ran oil pump with drill on two diff engines with hydraulic lifters, one mopar, one small block Ford. In both cases oil visibly flowed to all 16 rocker arms without turning crank. And it was real obvious oil was flowing with valve covers off. I could see oil flowing out of push rods filling...

Should see oil going up to rockers when running oil pump with drill. So definitely something to resolve. Does anyone really think a rebuilt engine actually has a plastic timing chain gear? Really? All this the timing chain gear is plastic on a rebuilt engine I doubt thats the case.

Should have hole in top of lifters where push rods seats into them. And oil should push through hole up through push rods to rockers Its also a good idea to turn engine by hand running oil pump with drill make sure lifters ride at correct height in lifter bores. I had to get a cam with...

Right not water pump or any belt driven unit. But could be cam rubbing or cam gear rubbing something. Hopefully found corrected without engine damage.

Sound not good at all like metal to metal rubbing non stop in consistent manner. Not valve train or crank/rods/pistons that is something spinning rubbing. A mechanic stethoscope could tell you is it front or rear of engine under timing cover ect helps narrow down location.

I wanna see that '68 get fixed and hopefully see a video of it running no noise....

I use mechanic stethoscope and another method is 3/8 inch fuel line one end to ear move other end around engine comp. Those two techniques can help find source of noise.

Keeping work area clean, tools and parts organized and easy to find helps me feel a lot better when I step in the garage to get something done. When I hit unexpected problems, always happens, I stop, clean the shop, put tools in there place, get rid of clutter, sweep the floor, then walk away...

My son sold an old Honda 4 cyl recently. We were able to buy a marker that turns colors to detect real or fake. We checked every bill to make sure it was legit. Those markers to detect fake money can be bought at Staples, Walmart etc.
