So I have this ticking sound from the car. I thought it was possibly a exhaust leak, so I tightened up all bolts as much as possible. The wild card is that the header collectors don't have gaskets at all. I don't know if that could cause this tick. When I wen't to adjust the rockers, all rockers...

So I have these sweep patterns in the picture below. When the engine was first built, I measured the pushrod length. The issue is, this is the best I could do. From my reading, sweeps like I have (more towards the exhaust) would signal push rods to long, but when I tried to go any shorter....The...

So I have a mechanical Autometer gauge and on start up I get 70psi on my new engine, but when it starts to warm up the gauge will flutter between 60-70 and then 40-60 when fully warm. I am trying to figure out if this gauge is crap or if I have a bigger issue. I wish I could upload a video, but...

If you have read my last threads or not, my rod bearings have taken a dump on me. What I wanted to know is how many of you would be fine with running the same oil pump and screen again? The pump and screen have less than 800 miles on them. And if you suggest keeping...should I just clean them...

What should cranking compression be with Rhs heads chambers at 64 cam is xs282 244@50 67 ABDC @.015 kb 107 .40 over square decked 3.58 stroke

So the oil pressure issues I was questioning were true...Took the motor apart to check them and I found little pieces of metal in the pan. I also have a piece of metal I found. The main bearings are not as bad as the rod, but there are some none shiny parts which I dont know if its bad? I...

Is it worth getting Electric Water pump and or only Electric fans for a weekend warrior? The most the Car Would be driven is 2-4 times a week IF that and maybe few times a month at the Strip.

So I got the motor back together, no water in oil from what I can see.. It needs a little more timing maybe 2 more degrees ummm, but the oil pressure seems to be lower then before with same weight of oil brand and filter...62 when cold...40-30 for awhile and when it gets hot like 180-190 i get...

Finally got pictures of them

I took the heads off and I dont really see anything wrong...besides using the LA head gaskets and not the magnums with these heads. What are signs that water was leaking from the head gaskets?As I stated in all my past threads, Ive never seen water in my oil like this before until I changed the...

Im trying to figure out if I should use the .054 fel pro for the magnum head and block that is 519sd or get the whole MR.Gasket set and use those head gaskets that are either .039 or .040 that are for an LA block what should I do? would a drop from 10.9 to 10.5 compression make a difference...

what are ways besides a leak down test that I can do to check for water getting in my oil...I just placed the new gaskets on and either I keep doing it wrong or I have something else wrong..this time I have what looks to be water in my oil, I cant really tell because the oil is yellowish its the...

So Im going to change the intake gaskets for the 4th time for ***** and giggles because I believe I did a shitty job putting them on and have water leaking into the oil. Its not alot of water because when I pull the dipstick I hardly see any milkshake looking stuff on the dip stick.. But I also...

ok So i bit and bought the new cam....It has way more vacuum then the last cam, but the problem is that I still have a 400 rpm drop...Should I still be running a locked out distrib? or should i put all the mechanical stuff back in? In park the idle is at 1000 and in gear it drops to 600-700...

So I fired up the motor with the new heads and cam. As soon as we started the motor we got a ticking noise on the drivers side. Sounded like a rocker, but we shut it off and re adjusted everything, then re primed it and it still did it, so We broke the cam in. We figured if it was the cam going...

Im getting tired of all this trying to fix the run on problems. I wish I just keep the 318. I adjust the idle mixture screw and it wont start sometimes, then I adjust it again so It starts fine and idles, but then it idles low at like 500-600.. If i put more it gets to 700 or 800 but then when...

Ok on the last few steps of the motor and I need to know what I have to do or is needed to install the rings. They are already gapped and all that. But on the oil spacer rings.. Do I need to line the gaps up or opposite from each other. And what ring goes next, First time doing this, all help...

hey guys, I know im in the middle of building my motor, but Im having trouble find what heads I want. I have the stock magnums with a gasket match, but I feel they wont flow enough for the lift I have. So I was looking at the Hugues 2.02 Iron rams and the Alum. Edelbrock Magnums. What would...
