    Oil dripping around starter

    Back of the engine common sources of oil; rear main, oil pan, distributor, oil pressure port behind the intake manifold, valve cover. Less common would be the cam tunnel plug in the back of the block and the intake manifold itself can have oil seep. I would pop the inspection cover off the...

    Engine Rebuild Kit Recommendations

    I would get out some calipers/mics and really start measuring everything. It its really tight something is most likely wrong. Make sure the ring depth on the pistons matches the ring spec. I know you can get different oil ring groove depths 0.200 vs 0.165 i believe that may cause an issue but...

    Engine Rebuild Kit Recommendations

    I am currently buttoning up the rebuild on my small block. I found it was cheaper to piece together a the stuff than buy a kit if doing a simple re ring and bearings for me. I wanted to upgrade a few of the parts like oil pump and stuff and it equaled out to me saving money over buying the kit...

    1986 Engine Wiring Question

    Well maybe I called the module the incorrect name. It is the Emission Control Module not technically the AIR module.

    1986 Engine Wiring Question

    I'm with you really. I have no clue how the AIR module works or any of that. It just appears the white/brown wire is the 12volt feed to that module and the white wire to the distributor plug. So I think just splicing those two together and bypassing the module would do it. Currently all other...

    1986 Engine Wiring Question

    As I am in the process of rebuilding the engine in my truck I wanted to clean up the wiring while I am able. My truck has all of the emissions stuff deleted (AIR smog pump EGR etc). I want to delete the AIR control module. I see the AIR module feeds the distributor from the white wire. Looking...

    SBC Cylinder Head Decision

    The motor is coming out of the truck in a couple weekends. Will tear it down and decide from there. Based on the feedback probably will go with the AFR's unless I run into unexpected internal issues.

    Engine swap

    As long as it is not a reverse rotation marine engine it should swap in. Id try to find the specs on the cam before assuming it needed swapped as well. Swap everything over from your engine (water pump, pulleys, exhaust manifolds) and you should be set. Id definitely try to wash out as much of...

    SBC Cylinder Head Decision

    Truck has 4:10 gears in it so I can get by with a bit more cam. From what I have been researching was leaning towards a cam similarly spec'd to the one Catbox mentioned or one of Comps Xtreme 4x4 cams like the 270H seemed like a good match for decent on road stop light performance and driving...

    SBC Cylinder Head Decision

    They compared the Speedmaster, AFR and the Summit head. The summit is supposedly made by Brodix so I guess it compares two of the three. I'm definitely leaning towards the AFR's but wondering what everyones experiences opinions are.
