    '79 Olds 350, Engine knock?

    It's not just the weaker block, the crack prone, shitty flowing 3A heads as well, if orginal. Both pre 77 and later 350's cost the same to rebuild. The crank from the mid 70's on is also questionable on higher power builds.

    LS pre oiling

    ...are no pressurized oil galleries to these few parts of the engine. The bottom of pistons and cylinder walls are lubed by oil slinging off the crank. The only problem is there is no oil slinging at cranking speed. Realistically these parts can live a long time with no lube. Especially when...

    Buick 350

    ...But a Buick is an under-square engine that makes gobs of power at low rpm's. I know TA Performance and it's parts are great. But as stated above, if you don't put the work into the crank, rods, and bearings, you WILL be sorry. [edit: he bought a TA flywheel- that was not cheap by any means].

    Clutch shudder

    ...are interchangeable and weighted the same. I am not positive that this is accurate but it’s all i’ve got. I am running an LT1 specific crank pulley so i know that that’s correct. If you know the right ball stud. That would be awesome information to share. When i get a chance i am going to...

    Crank, spark No start/ alternator question

    ...Also recently changed coolant and drove the car. It ran fine but service engine light was on. Put it up and tried to start it and it just cranked but no start. There seems to be crank and spark from plug. Distributor is getting power. Carburetor's getting fuel. The other issue is my...

    solenoid ground

    ...One from the plus side of the battery, then one down to the starter. They carry heavy current. Must be a big wire. The small wire is hot when cranking. To wire this properly the ground can not go directly to ground or it can be started in gear. Either the plus will need to go through the...

    1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham

    A slow week, finally got a turbo flywheel, installed. Wired the starter, gave it a few cranks to adjust the shims. Also got a tube bender, played a bit with it and made the fuel line from pump to carburator. Still missing the harmonic balancer (it's in the mail).

    Tilt column with manual steering?

    ...of the tilt mechanism is a plastic sphere that doesn't look like it could withstand the stress of a manual box. I know the steering effort goes down as long as the wheels are turning, but sometimes you need to crank the steering wheel while standing still. I don't think the tilt could stand that.

    4th Gen Fbody Rear Disc Install with E/Parking Brake Fully Functional

    Is that cranked onto a bushing or did you use a lock nut backed off a turn or so?

    Ls swap return-less fuel system question

    500+hp N/A to the wheels out of an LQ4 6.0l will be some big Heads, high RPM, big Cam, high compression.. yea you get the idea. 500hp Crank out of a LQ4 is easy with a decent Cam and good Heads. Get the compression up. As far as the C5 Corvette Regulator, I must be the only one who has one on...

    Relay getting too hot!

    I do not but the only thing i was thinking is the relay is wired to accessory so comes on as soon as the key is forward. So maybe something to do when cranking over? I know the other one was staying hot with the car running though.

    ...the #6 heads and selling the #7 heads for money to finish the project.

So both sets of...

    The "I'm Obsessive With Lawn Tractors" Thread

    Now we be talking here. Only modification I can think of is to modify the trigger using a bell crank on a pivot and a rod with a couple of heim ends attached to a pedal to make it foot actuated. Any plans to add more more weight out back to compensate for the push back when it is fired? Nick

    Oldsmobile V8 interchangeability

    Yes the other accessories should work. Just make sure you have the triple crank pullies to drive two belts off the crank.

    Can anyone identify this horrendous rattling noise?

    FYI, the flex plate can be cracked in a circular like pattern surrounding the crank hub bolt area. Nearly impossible to see with the transmission bolted to the engine.

    HELP Suggestions on front/rear speakers

    ...keeping the factory deck look for speakers with higher "db" or sensitivity ratings. They will get a bit louder and clearer without having to crank the volume as high and increase distortion. The factory speakers are lightweight paper cones(efficient) and the stock head units can have a hard...

    87 Buick V8 307 Stalling after driving 20-30 Minutes

    When I check the pressure of fuel I just hooked up to hard line I unscrewed from car and cranked car. There's no way to hook up on carb side. I did the TPS and replaced the gasket. I checked old TPS yesterday when messing with car and at idle was reading 1.18V.
