i have a lifter that bleeds down in my 91 roller block after a couple days of sitting , is it ok to replace just the lifters and leave the cam as is ??any special break in requird?

bingo!!!!!!!! exactly what it was.. outer seal lip had somehow folded over and was creating little rubber shavings like the inside of a tire after you run it flat.. popped in a new seal, noise is gone, well now my p/s pump whines when it is hot but that's an easy fix... thanks for everyones input!

this is a 91 block and doesn't have the timming chain tensioner, sounds is exactly like a losse belt squeal, no ticks or any other noises, I tried recording the noise with my I phone but it really picks up los of background , maybe ill try again and post it

noise is defintaley a rubber noise, sounds like a loose belt and is 100% coming from the balancer or just behind it, balancer is not hitting or rubbing on anything, could it be the front seal? noise is gone when engine is cold , but after about 2 min if warmup it starts and gets louder as engine...

ran this thing today and listened with a stethoscope, the noise is loudest behind the balancer,a the timming cover area, if you listen at the top behind the water pump and at the bottom behind the balancer, it is defintaley loudest behind the balanver, what could be making noise there?

removed belts and noise is still there, sounds like front of motor,timing cover area, just figured being a roller lifter there would be bearings around the roller, wondering if the roller seized or something if it could make noise

wondering if the roller bearings are failing if they would sound like a bad p/s pump kinda whinning noise?

if a roller would be going bad on a stock 91 , 360 roller lifter what would it sound like?

were all 360's like this? anyone have a picture of what should be there?this 360 is a 91 roller block, prob shoulda mentioned that earlier,, any chance the noise is from a bad roller on a lifter?

yes , guy that had this engine ran it for 4 years the way it is, all I did was regasket it, never pulled cam or those bolts, just wonder why it is , that there is a noise now?should I seek out a bolt that has the hole in it and run that instead of the slinger?

now I did notice an oil defelctor that looks like it was home made to route drainback oil to the chain, but the chain looked good, looks like I have to go in and have a look again.. :mumum:, should I just order this bolt with a hole and use it instead?

did you check to make sure the rocker shaft oil holes are positioned correctly?

I resealed the 360 in my new project, runs well but has developed a noise, sounds like a noisey p/s pump, tonight I removed p/s belt , noise is still there, figured it has to be alt, removed that belt and noise is still there.really bumbed now, listend with a stethoscope, too hard to pinpoint...

thank you

These notches appear to be ground in the wrong place If I go with the notches the oil holes willBe pointing up on the shafts which is wrong!! Looking at the from the front where should the oil home be pointing on the shafts ?? Should they be pointing towards intake or exhaust ??

If you have roller shaft rockers , should the oil holes be positioned the same as stock , and is that down and toward the outside of the engine, if you go by the notches on the end of the shafts mine are in wrong

a little confused on this topic, are all 360's externally balanced?if so i believe the torque conveter has weights on it. does it matter which way it is mated to the flexplate? does it have to be clocked a certain way in relation to the flex plate to be in balance? if so how do you tell what...

prob gonna look like dummy here , this came in my gasket kit, what is it and where does it go

the motor was in a 84 dodge short box 2wd truck, truck went like a rapped ape, street tires , foot brake, ran 8.0 in the 1/8th ...

Can't seem to find the part number

i bought this motor as is, not sure what cam is in it, all i know is its a roller.. can anyone help with the info in the picture?

heres a pic of the other side

This is a 91 roller block , this is the style that was in it before , I was told to avoid using the other dish style cause they leak??the two frost plug kits I hit came with that dish style , I had to search hi and low for this style , are I guys sure its the wrong style?

Not sure which way this plug goes in , it's the one behind the cam anyone?the old one was in the opposite way to the pictures one , the dish was facing out

what are you guys putting on your frost plugs to seal them up when repacing?

has anyone used silicone instead of the intake cork end seals? i have done small block chevs this way , but there seems to be a bigger gap on the la motor... anyone?

i seen this crazy repair before, where a guy drilled and tapped along the crack and filled it with 3/8 bolts, started at one end and worked along the crack, each new hole would cut into the last bolt edge a bit.. looks crzy as hell , but it worked,. i think i read it in a hotrod magazine once...

freshening up an engine that someone else built that is now mine, does anyone know what kind of rockers these are, cant see any brand on them anywhere

i have a 91 360 with edelbrock heads, 60775's and the pushrods i am replacing are the ball and socket style but they are 6.675 long, i am having a hard time finding any this length, anybody have any sources i havent tried?

have some questions about the oiling system , on a 360 , say comparing a 1980 block and a 1991 block , does the oil follow the same path? i have adjustable rockers and solid pushrods on my truck motor, which is a 1991 360 roller block , ,i think the older smallblock the oil flowed up into the...
