I use Brad Penn oil and it is green.

Thinking of strapping my 340 and wondering how to go about it. Pictures of your set ups would great.:dontknow::dontknow: Thanks in advance Dwayne

Are you sure all the air is out of the engine. Had the same thing till I got all the air locks out of the engine and coolant top right up. Just a thought

Thanks Moper - bought new head studs and gaskets and did all of the things that you mentioned. Should be good to go now. Valuable lesson learned.

"Dumb *** mechanic" (oh guess that was me) didn't notice the middle head bolt was stretched. Heads check out A-OK. Oh well live and learn, back on the road again.:cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers:

Problem is where the new MP ones are welded for the stop. The bend needs to be close and as soon as I tried bending the welds were breaking. I too ground a taper to help it slide into the block easier.

When I rebuilt ny 340, I bought the chrome ones from Mopar, but they are straight and need a slight bend to get by the fuel pump. I tried heat, but didnt want to discolour the chrome. Broke 3 and finally went back to an original. To get them in the hole in the block just put a bolt in the top...

Just installed a rebuilt 340 that was bored out 0.40. Runs great.
