    question on harmonic balancer

    I would bet my bottom dollar that if i attempted this myself, i throw the TDC mark out of kilter and waste my efforts. I am curious to know tho..... what/who is the source for replacement rubbers???

    Car won't crank, need help- ideas?

    Maybe not. Could be the plastic isolator?? on the rooster comb, in the trans. When you pull the neutral safety switch, look carefully in the hole for any clues. This really depends on the year of the trans.

    65 New Yorker, first project car

    Good start! If problems seem to point towards the fuel pump itself, bear in mind that the camshaft driven pump push rod is prone to wear on these big blocks. Peeps have had issue with hardness on the replacements too. A good used original is the best bet if you should need one.

    383 Intake install

    Not a one size fits all question. Fiber gaskets are often used with aluminum manifolds as John said. However, if machine work required cutting of heads, block, manifold or all, then you may have to have them. Best practice is to drop the manifold on with NO gasket or bathtub, then look...

    Parts cleaners - Ultrasonic, vibratory & solvent-experience welcome.

    I use that psc-1000 from tsc now as well. I use to buy only Super Agitene because it was the least problem for your hands....not that you should get any of that stuff on your hands if you dont have to. Seems the price of Agitene and Super Agitene got quite hogh and i dont even know where to...

    4 barrel swap 66 Newport

    Used, or brand new Torker? BB swaps are usually pretty easy, since you dont get into the cooling system. Just test fit and be wary of a manifold that may have been cut on. You may need one or even two sets of paper gaskets and i would leave the bathtub in place for initial fitment. Two...

    Tight Thrust Bearing, Why ?

    Any pix or clues given from post #4 may help you (and us). That is a forged crank engine, or at least it has one in it now. Maybe pull the bearing shell you already have in hand off the cap and give us the info you find on the back of the shell?? Also, there may be a forging number stamped...

    Tight Thrust Bearing, Why ?

    Did you check end play??? As-in you had none before starting to teardown?? You should be able to fit a feeler gauge in between each bearing shell and the crank. Both top and bottom shells have the same issue?? Also, if you put the crank back in without that #3 bearing, torque the other 4 caps...

    Goldie will get her orginal heads reconditioned.

    Looking for the small oil port on the block, you'll see there is one on each bank of the block, which feeds oil up to the valve gear on each head. Looking for the adjoining holes in each head, you'll see there are two small holes in each head. The oil passages go to two ports on the heads...
