...a cast part, that's messed up. Also, it appears the parting line may have a razor thin parting line indicating cast to me. I'm no metallurgist, but from my experience, forged steel usually has wider parting lines due to the die shape. Oldsmobile forged crank parting line Cast crank parting...

Just take an OAP sample. When I log back in I'll explain. But just get clear pickle jar label removed fill with current crank case oil. Put lid on it and let sit over night

Nothing hokey about it, it literally is the mechanical motion of the Pistons on the Crank. Any V Block 4 Stoke engine with 4 or more Cylinders that have 2 Cylinders per Rod journal on the Crank in even multiples will be this way. First half of firing order will be paired with the last half of...

...Blazer spindles. The steering limiter is now not hitting the stopper in the middle. At full suspension extension. If the steering is at full crank, it can actually jump over the stopper. Some may argue that a car will rarely be in this scenario but it's should be mentioned for you to decide...

No worries I’m just looking for any info or help at all so I appreciate the responses.

The hand crank says clockwise. Looks like OPEN to me, but I may be too old to be trusted with important decisions. :mrgreen:

I am compiling a list for my 70 Cutlass S but similar will be needed for a G body. I plan on buying everything but the TKX this year. My 330 crank already has a pilot bushing installed. I will probably run the Holley dash for gauges and speedometer once the 5 spd is installed. Here is my list...

They are .010 over. The crank was turned .010 under a decade ago and was recently polished.

Plus three on the crank sensor. They're fairly cheap IIRC. Change it. Adjust it so it doesn't hit (turn the crank manually to ensure that it always has a smidge of clearance). What's the worse that could happen? It really isn't THAT difficult to change out I wouldn't think. The only other...

sounds like fuel problem next time starting it when it;s cold give it a shot of eather in the carb before you crank it ..if it fires right up it;s a fuel problem

...up if and when your main bearings there are worn out when oil gets hot it thins out then and it all gushes out the bottom past the worn main (crank)bearings and dosnt supply the tappets (lifter) there fore they collapse yes collapse the valves barely open you have no powere to take off or...

Yeah buddy that I was with thought he was funny and when I was taking clip off the ground he turned the key....

To answer your question tho.. is the back of the crank pretty much flush with the seal on the back cover? Can you post a picture of what flexplate you have.

I did but I think my issue was the start retard box I had. I would crank it like you say but mine had a 10 or 25 degree retard. I went right to 25 and I had all my issues. Being I couldn’t go back to 10 I was stuck but I had people tell me after the fact that 10 works better.

Usually was done to direct the oil to the front and back of the block to return to the pan instead of down on the crank.

I would say 479 HP and probably 456 TQ at the crank. Hell rogue_ryder's Olds 358 with so so Procomp heads, smaller 221/229 roller cam and same compression made 436 HP and 471 ft-lbs with a 670 cfm carb. If old sbc Betsy doesn't beat both those numbers by a good margin, the HP especially, time...

...fuel system alternator and mounting bracket this week. Also put the distributor in place. Missing the clamp to bolt it down to finish it. My crank pulley and alternator do not line up at all. It is a full belt width off. Seen online there are some pulleys that kick it out one width might try...

Depends on which way the crank is rotated. Arrows be damned.

It was the original th200 and stock tq converter, currently installing a th400 with 2200 to 2800 stall. Exhaust was that size all along so did mot replace it....yet... Timing is all in at 2800 or 2900 -- 36 degrees. And around 30degrees at 2500rpm
