The better paint removers will have methylene chloride in them. Nasty stuff but it works.

WTH? Fat fingers struck again..... Thanks for saying something, I removed it. LOL Happens to often when I'm on phone reading it.

It was my belief that with bad valve seals you would get a ball of smoke at start up, and get worse over time with oil consumption going up also because of it. Eventually it would get so bad you could see the puff of blue smoke whenever you let off the gas.

around 52 I believe. I picked up a pair with some work done very cheap. Took it to shop that did the work and he said something about 52

Kinda looks like the Skyp Whyte HEI sold on eBay.

from rumblefish I think it’ll be fine. It has oil, your food there. No coolent? Double check it didn’t make its way into the oil. Pull the dip stick and check for a milk shake or just straight oil. or open the oil cap and see what it looks there.

While you're at it, why not gasket match both intake and exhaust? If you have the tools, now's a great time. if

When I get a chance, I'll look at the numbers on the J heads on my late 70 340. That's a 10.25 CR engine.

Doubt X head only. Could be J,U,O. I did a search and came up with this using the 2531894 number. How accurate? Anybody's guess. Mopar Casting Numbers - MyMopar.com - Mopar Part Numners

IF STOCK PISTONS, they will come up over the block. And stock CR on the early build 1971 340 is 10.25, where 1970 and earlier is 10.5? What I read somewhere...... My 340 is a late 1970, so I'm guessing it went into a 1971 car. Just guessing, when I get around to it I will find out for sure.

What month 1971?

How about using a magnet for any possible wire brush pieces?

Gears and tire size also please.

Following that on FB. Good article, even though it is info already known.

I used STP on a stock 318 late 70's. First build knowing nothing but a Chilton's. Must of gotten lucky cause no issues even after no start and discovering machine shop forgot the oil plug in back of block between motor and auto tranny. And oil all over ground. Probably what I'll use on 340 when...

Probably would never admit it if they did.

Ohhh boy......you just had to go there...... LOL

What I used with my 318 back in the late 70's. Ran for about 9 years. Unfortunately it was rear ended twice after I moved from IL to WI....... Totaled. But still started. LOL

Curious, why the LD4B instead of a bigger Performer Air Gap, LD340,or even a stock cast intake?

Camera settings can cause that color shift.

Roller or hydraulic lifters? Definitely watching this because SOME day I'll be able to work on my car here in MI.

No you didn't......

:rofl::bs_flag:Sorry, had to. :realcrazy: :popcorn:and last but not least:drama:

Not on much lately, but I'll watch this one. And ignore any suggestions that may come in.

Do you have anything else as in parts for either? I ask for money reasons.

lol

No such thing as chrome-moly piston rings......... Either chrome, or molybdenum, but you can't have them both together.

How good is straight STP as an assembly lube then?

$350 for these. Never used, bowl blend and ported. SS valves. Not for sale, just shown as example to what's out there.

Don't take my head off for this question, but could you resleeve the block?
