    Cracked valve guide, any advice?

    Well I was taking my heads apart to clean them up and start to do a little port work when I found this crack at the top of the guide under the spring. Any opinions as to how to fix or is this fixable? Should I be concerned or is this ok? The heads aren't anything special just 587 casting 360...

    Tapping and Allen head plugs is the best thing I would say. One guy I knew just cleaned the holes out with brake clean and put jb weld in them and it worked just fine.

    what lifters do you recommend for this cam

    im not really sure this is a wild camshaft its only a 272 duration which isnt much more than a stock 340 cam and its powerband is from 1500-5500, why would i want to start to achieve full lift halfway thru its power band? this cam shouldnt have much trouble making vacuum when installed correctly.

    what lifters do you recommend for this cam

    i kinda agree with you on this ive messed with the rhodes on a buddys 360 wasnt overly impressed and they are a pain to get adjusted properly. also i have no problem tuning for low vacuum.

    what lifters do you recommend for this cam

    IQ52 i have the adjustable comp pro magnum roller rockers that i will be running, and yes this is really just a mild street, occasional strip 340 that im putting together. this engle cam has a mild duration so i dont believe i will need the variable rate lifters that some manufactures make, i...

    what lifters do you recommend for this cam

    how does my rocker arm geometry look??

    yeah its just the pic angle they clear just fine however they do have larger diameter comp springs on the heads. my roller rockers wont clear these springs i already tried.... so i looked to make sure these one cleared thanks anyway!

    how does my rocker arm geometry look??

    nothing has been done to them since the last time they were gone over and that was about 30,000 miles ago when the 340 they were on was freshened up ....they are the 73 "587" casting j heads they do have comp springs on them. they have been milled some they CC out at 65cc's now other than that...

    how does my rocker arm geometry look??

    this is my first time messing with adjustable rockers and a hydraulic cam. i usually just run stock pushrods and stamped steel rockers but figured i should maybe give the adjustable stuff a try! have a look at the pics the first couple are with the valve at max lift open then the last two are...

    what do these markings on my pistons mean?

    what do these markings on my pistons mean?

    what do these markings on my pistons mean?

    thanks for confirming my thoughts 805MOPARKID well thats an odd size i wanted to use these pistons in a std. bore block cause its ready to build... i would have used this shortblock to begin with but the crank is toast and its will need a good cleaning and cam bearings and honed where as the...

    Gonna buy a stock replacement pan, opinions?

    do i recall reading somewhere that ur truck has a 318 in? is this correct? if thats is so are you aware that 318/340 use the same oil pan and that a 360 uses a different pan because it has a small rear pan seal. if you have 360 pan on your 318 im not sure how it even fit but that could be the...
