    Overflow tank keeps filling up with water

    I also have a Suzuki Esteem with a bad HG or cracked head. If I remove the rad cap and start the car up, the coolant will come out like a geyser. The coolant also has a strong gas smell. I didn't have any coolant leak externally, no white smoke from the tailpipe and no water in my oil. You can...

    Another Oil Pressure Question...sorry

    I had the same issue on my 360 magnum. You can try a new oil pump, maybe a high volume one would help a bit (I gained around 5 psi when hot) and thicker oil, but I bet your bearings are worn out. It took 200 miles before I spun a rod bearing... I was lucky it didn't get more damage

    Use or don't use vacuum advance on distributor???????????????????

    I think I will try the manifold vacuum on my 360 magnum. I played a bit with timing, I se it about 15-17 idle and 34-36 with the mechanical advance. At idle, the engine is a little rough with the vacuum advance connected to the spark vacuum and seemed to run smoother with the timing advanced...

    Need help degreeing a cam

    If I use the 4* retard keyway on the crank, wouldn't that bring me to 111.5*? It would have the same effect has using the offset cam key. I think I will try both to see which method brings me closer to 110 (there might be a slight difference because of manufacturing...) Is 107.5* too advanced...

    Need help degreeing a cam

    I degreed in my cam a couple weeks ago and found the intake centerline at 107.5 degrees instead of 110, so I ordered a 2* offset cam key from mr.gasket (987g) to bring it closer to 110 ICL. Since 2* at the cam = 4* at the crank, is this offset cam key bring me to 111.5 ICL or will it move it a...

    360 magnum valve train

    I have a street avenger 670 on my 97 magnum. Power off the line greatly improved going from a street avenger 770.

    Lets hear what questionable methods you've used to save money

    My slant six throttle cable broke 50 miles from home. I had no tools with me and didn't want to pay for a tow truck so I removed the spring on the idle screw and cranked it up all the way in, started the car (revved to 4000 rpm) and dropped it in gear. I was able to go 45 mph on the highway...

    Magnum Intake

    I have the Crosswind intake on my 360 magnum. One problem I encoutered is the thermostat hole is too big for a stock thermostat. I finally found a subaru thermostat that would fit. The fitting for the bypass is at a 45 degrees angle, which sucks to install the hose. The edelbrock is straight as...

    really high oil pressure

    x2 I had a stuck oil pressure regulator on my slant six. I blew up 2 oil filter gasket (and lost all my oil on the road) before I realized what was the cause. I would try another oil pump

    Engine question for the penny pinchers.

    I had the same problem with my 360 magnum I bought used; low oil pressure when hot but no rattle. Changed the oil pump to a high volume but it did not cure the low oil pressure. After 200 miles, it started knocking pretty bad on the highway. My buddy towed me back home, I pulled the oil pan to...

    Cam installation

    I just degreed my new comp cam p/n 20-746-9 and found the intake centerline to be around 107.5. This cam should be installed at 110. Should I retard it to 111.5 using the other keyway in the crank sprocket (I have a comp double roller timing chain with the adjustable keyways +4 and -4) or leave...

    magnum engine help

    I'm running the stock serpentine on my 360 magnum so I'm using the stock timing cover. It has a triangle shape cast into it on top of the lower sprocket, I guess it serves as the oil slinger.

    Oil pump drive shaft question

    I just installed the bushing on my 360 magnum. I used a Durabond one (3.99$ from summit) and drove it in with the new shaft with some assembly lube on it. No need to use the tool, it fits perfectly! I guess it comes prefitted...

    Main cap studs

    May sound like a stupid question but: do you hold the stud when torquing down the nut for the main cap using arp studs? In the instructions they say to install the studs hand tight only but would'nt it turn while torquing the nut?

    Bronze Oil Pump Drive Gear

    I got an answer back from comp and they said to use a melonized steel gear. Who sells those? Or can I go with a standard MP hardened shaft? The gear on the cam is cast.

    Bronze Oil Pump Drive Gear

    I just ordered a new comp cam for my 360 magnum pn 20-746-9. It's an hydraulic roller. There's no warning that I need to use a bronze gear. Do I need one?

    magnum cam extension from hughes?

    Looks exactly like the edelbrock pump I have for my carbed 360 magnum (I use the stock timing cover and modified the serpentine setup to drive only the Ram alternator and water pump). You can hear it when ignition is on, but it's not too bad (I can't compare, haven't heard any other electric...

    No more RHS Indy X heads

    Connecting rod bearing

    I know the oil will get to the bearing from the crank, I mean the small hole on the side of the connecting rod. My engine is a 97 magnum, is it new that they removed that hole to splash oil on the cylinder walls?

    Connecting rod bearing

    Just got my crank back from the machine shop and he sold me bearings to go with it. The OEM bearing had a hole on one side for the connection rod, the Clevite CB481P does not. Do I have to file a hole in the new bearings?

    Magnum vs LA head gaskets

    Any differences? I'd like to use thin head gaskets to give better quench on my 360 magnum and raise the compression at the same time. MP has the P4120094 gasket 0.024-0.028 thickness. Would that fit? Also does it make a difference using RHS heads?

    360 magnum budget build

    360 magnum budget build

    I paid 360$ for my engine (I gave the guy 1$ per cubic inch) and he installed a brand new mopar center sump oil pan. His friend sold it to him originally but he changed project. Mine also had 90-100k on it (not 100% on that one) off a 97 ram van. Bores are like new... Maybe not cross hatched but...

    360 magnum budget build

    I was just wondering how is the assembly quality of Indy vs Hughes (think I got my answer after reading all those horror stories). I want to run these heads OOTB. I have no doubt that the RHS heads are awesome heads looking at the flow numbers in stock form and your results at the track. Is...
