Is there a rule of thumb for how high the top of the radiator cap should be above the thermostat in my bbc? Should I measure from top of radiator...

it is. the output shaft is 1-3/16" diameter
with the yoke bottomed out in the tranny I have 1-1/2" of yoke exposed. 5/8" of that has the output shaft inside it so Ive got 7/8" spinning...
thanks for the reply's guys, my issue is i buggered up my old drive line and had the shop make me a new one , same length but with new 1330...
Hey, is there a formula or rule of thumb by how much engagement the slip yoke should have on the output shaft of a transmission? i did a search...
Hi Vicky, I think we're on the same page, my issue is I didnt measure the capacity prior to modifying or with the factory dipstick. bottom line is...
Maybe im not understanding. Whether its the shelf (really a baffle) or the top of the pan they're both just a reference point right? In my case...
I now think the oil i was seeing earlier was generated while the motor was running but no way to tell now. Nothing leaking now while motor is not...
So how far below the shelf should the oil level be? That distance should be the same no matter the capacity of the pan right? I think the point...
Back of the motor is covered by block saver plate part of scatter shield. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Cant be 100% sure unless i pull the motor out remove tranny and scattershield and take a look. If i can be sure its not caused by overfilling then...
Yep stock pan. When i put 7 qts water into it (while it was on my kitchen table) the oil came up to the mark shown on the dip stick. The mark is...
Not something i'd considered. Breather in one valve cover with oil fill cap. Other side pcv valve plumbed to bottom of rear carb. [IMG][IMG]...
so would a quart over capacity result in leaking from the RMS?? I guess thats the question that needs to be answered before I go to far down this...
the problem is the pan is still on the motor in the car. I guess I can estimate from the outside the height of the shelf inside the pan from the...
seems like a lot to me too. I'm really hoping it's just a matter of the motor being overfilled. :)
my pickup is 1/4" from bottom of the pan, I verified that with clay before and after welding it to the tab you see in the pic. I didnt check...
i put in 7 qts and the level comes up to the the point on the dipstick thats halfway between "add" and the bottom of the stick. I should've...
agreed, a longer bolt is needed. RMS oreintation is correct though
As im looking at the pics i realize theyre at the wrong angle and dont include the rms. BTW oil pressure 25 at idle 60-70 driving around, nearer...
Hey, A month or so ago i posted that my rms was leaking and included pics of a trashed #5 main journal bearing. I think i got that sorted out put...
