    Rock Auto crap parts

    I was super excited to see the correct Budd calipers for my 67 at RA. I ordered both. Well, that isn't what I received. I got some kind of AMC-specific calipers, and had a hell of a time convincing them that they weren't the right ones for my car. They finally took them back and sent me the...

    Hydraulic roller cam 318 low oil pressure

    Thanks to everyone for the advice and information. I've checked the top end while running, and I can't see any oil coming out of the pushrods. Since the lifters are under pressure, if they were designed to alternatively be able to oil through the pushrods, wouldn't there be oil seeping out the...

    Hydraulic roller cam 318 low oil pressure

    I knew about the oiling differences between the LA and Magnum engines, at least in general. I was told, perhaps erroneously, that the hollow pushrods wouldn't matter, because the rocker shafts were of stock design, so there shouldn't be double oiling. Comp Cams and Edelbrock both said it...

    Hydraulic roller cam 318 low oil pressure

    Oddly enough, the oil pressure was reading about 60psi when the lifter collapsed. I figured it was defective. Maybe not?

    Hydraulic roller cam 318 low oil pressure

    Thanks for the replies. I paid a mechanic to go through the top end and verify all the fitment, and he and I both contacted Edelbrock and Comp Cams for extensive chat sessions. The only thing that seemed plausible to me, which the mechanic and Comp Cams said wasn't the case, was that the lifter...

    Hydraulic roller cam 318 low oil pressure

    This issue has been vexing me for a few months, now. I had a lifter collapse on my flat tappet hydraulic cam, so I upgraded to a hydraulic roller. The clearances for the lifter bores all checked out fine. I used to have 65psi of oil pressure at cold idle with the old setup, and about 45psi hot...
