1972 Dodge Dart Swinger
Most likely I will. This blows but better be safe than sorry. And I've always ran Rotella 15w 40 for over 10 years in my dart as well as my other classic cars and never had a problem! Definitely good oil!
The dipstick was not the original one but I put 5 quarts in plus another one for the filter and made my own mark on the dipstick. unless these magnum engines take more oil I'm not too sure about that. I can try another gauge to see if that might be the problem.
Ok got the engine out, took covers off and primed the engine. It's getting oil to the rockers but not gushing out anywhere. So moved on to removing the timing cover exposing the timing chain Primed it again and it was gushing like a sob behind the cam thrust plate drivers side oil galley. I took off the thrust plate and the galley plugs are still in there but I remember drilling a hole in the drivers side plug since the original plug had a tiny hole in it but i might of drilled it to big since it was literally gushing. Also did a little research and some blocks don't have the oil hole and some do, can someone give me insight that. Im still gona take the pan off tho and check clearances since the engine is already out just to be on the safe side.
