Man I can't believe that 409 is injected! That's about the coolest car I've ever seen. I'm a early Impala guy and have a '64 SS 409 car that I'm...
I haven't changed anything on the intake, its got one of those foam type filters and that's it. Its always been fairly quiet so I didn't mess...
Every time I asked who's there, it just kept saying, Knock, knock, knock, knock I started to get bored with that after awhile.
I've heard of people saying this is something that could cause a knocking problem, but looking at mine I just don't see how. When I have it in...
Just thought I would let everyone know that I decided to buy the reed valve assembly and the gaskets to put it back together. I'm trying the...
Actually mine has rivets, the reed valves are riveted to a aluminum plate between the head and block. Everything seems tight. I'm thinking of...
I could handle the radio, you wouldn't want to hear me sing!
This whole thing really has me at a miss, I just don't see how reed valves can cause a very pronounced loud knocking noise. I would have bet you...
Nice job, you make it look easy!
Not only is the belt removed, the pump is scattered all of the work bench. I left the power hooked up to the compressor, so I turned it on...
If you have ever heard an engine run with a rod bearing that is so bad the piston comes up and smacks the head. Its a loud most times a double...
The pins, skirts, bearings, crank pins, everything measures good.
One time the waste gate was a little sticky and man did it get noisy that time!
Have you seen the reeds make a bunch of noise? To me they look fine but there isn't much to see. The actual part that is the little flapper...
All it said was "Knock, Knock, Knock"
That one would be easy to check, motor is sitting there by itself with power still hooked up. If its noisy by itself than that's it. Thanks Mm
The pulley was for sure tight, and its seems to pump up as good as its ever done. Of all of the reading online, check this or check that, I'm...
Its just too expensive around here, nearly $4 a gallon. Don't these newer contraptions have a knock sensor or something that stops that?...
Hey guys, I've got a small 60 gallon 6.5 hp Coleman Powermate Air compressor, two cylinder single stage, aluminum case pump with iron cylinder...
Nice Ride you've got there! Used to have one a lot like it, one of the cars I wish I still had. Nice Ride, Thanks for posting! Mm
M/T used to make exactly what you are looking for, I'm certain of it. I think back in probably late 70's I had to have them on my Chev, 327 with...
Bad thing about sleeving one hole is when you press the sleeve in, it will distort the hole next to it and require a fair amount of honing in most...
What he said, a lot of times the nub or knob on the front of the converter needs to go into the hole at the back of the crankshaft. If the pilot...
Hello, I'm new here but I'm an engine builder so I can probably help. You either have the cam/crank out of time, probably not if the marks are...
So, what did you find and how much do you want for the 57? Mm
I'd like to meet her, I bet she has some really great stories to tell! Mm
Could you not put a sponge or something similar inside the tube as a oil catch, what it stops from getting out would just drip back into the...
