Well the push rods worked with the steel shim head gaskets. Then you put thicker head gaskets on which raised the heads so now the push rods don't want to stay in place!

I’ve used this exact same head gasket with the exact same stock push rods on very similar builds. I can’t see how .01 of an inch can ever cause that much play especially with hydraulic lifters. There’s no lash when they’re pumped up. I just walked to the engine that hasn’t been running in days and all the other rockers are tight.

At 16.24 when you took the head off, it was obvious one exhaust valve had hit the piston on number six cylinder. You may have a bent valve
@davelowets
@davelowets 2 ай бұрын
A valve had hit it for SURE. I'm guessing it was a previous issue and had been repaired though, because that hole would have ZERO compression if the valve was bent, and the engine WOULD have a very obvious gallop when turning it over with the starter, and would have a bad miss when it was running. 4 seasons of drag racing on an engine is ALOT, and it could have very well broke a valve spring and dropped a valve during any one of those seasons. I've worn out, and have blown up engines in less than 4 seasons of drag racing. With my 9 second car, rhe engine comes out EVERY season, gets checked over, and receives new valve springs at the VERY least, if everything else checks out OK, and the leakdown test is still in the acceptable range. She's ready for new rings by the end of the second season for SURE, and new bottom-end bearings go in every second season regardless.

Seems like either you have the wrong push rod length, or the rockers are incompatible with the cam, meaning the rocker angle is off. As for the oil in the exhaust, only 3 conditions come to mind being valve seals, rings, or PCV being the most common, and cracked head, or busted piston being the worst case scenario. A warped head could contribute to this oil condition as well. I would definitely check the geometry on those rockers though. Great video Dylan, be confident, you'll figure it out. Thanks for sharing.

You forgot one that was most likely in this case. A intake valve not opening (push rod not home) would create a severe vacuum that would suck oil past the rings and make it smoke. That is still just a symptom. The question remains WHY did the push rod pop out? WHY did one bent?WHY did the lifter collapse? OK, that leaves THREE questions.

Your pistons all had eyebrows from hitting the exhaust valves. If your springs are not right for that cam revving it will float the valves. That can knock your valvetrain to pieces. Pull the heads and check for bent valves.

@davelowets 2 ай бұрын
I wouldn't just go and rip the heads off for NO reason. If all the exhaust valves are bent, the motor would have ZERO compression in any cylinder. It would NOT run. DO a compression test first. I didn't see that every piston had a mark on it. That could have been a previous issue with the timing chain, or a valve spring breaking and the motor dropped a valve, and the previous owner had already repaired it.

I am just guessing here but, Mopar oils through the rocker arms so not enough oil pressure was being maintained to the lifters to keep them pumped up since it was flowing through the push rods unlike factory push rods. I know you put factory push rods in later and one was not working (collapsed lifter), and 1 push rod fell out maybe indicating another bad lifter. What I am suggesting is the lifters did not have enough pressure to keep them pumped up allowing the push rods to fall out and also wiping some lifters. I would say you need new lifters with the correct push rods. Easy for me to say it is your money. :)

Actually mopars oil through the rocker shaft. That's the BRB and the LA and the slant. 6. They all oil through the rocker shaft. Then they come out of the rocker shaft through the rockers and then it goes out to the rocker tips. That's how they're oiled. Why this particular engine had these push rods that had holes in them. Probably because somebody had them and they were the correct length and somebody didn't know any better thinking that they all threw the push rods and they don't. And the oil comes up from the block from the cam bearing journal and through the block into the heads and then straight on to the rocker shaft or in straight on into the rocker shaft. If you don't believe me, you can look it up. There's plenty of information in the factory service manuals and also in some of the better Chilton manuals

Better check the lifters and cam lobes on that cylinder. Bet you wiped a lobe or two. The extra .019" thicker head gasket isn't the issue here. The piston-valve clearance is definitely an issue though. The 509/292 purpleshaft doesn't play well with pistons lacking valve reliefs.

I would pull the pan , make sure the oil is clean if so I would opt for a new cam and lifter package as well. My guess you got lifters not holding pressure and staying pumped up. Soak the new ones and then pump them by hand with a pushrod while they are submerged in oil just as an extra step to be sure they are pumped up. Most people just submerge them and don’t pre pump them .

My first thoughts are that when you pulled the heads the dent in the one piston indicates that the cam is either taller than what can accept those push rods and then were replaced by the original owner to what you found in the engine. A bent valve or two was the result. Another thought is that I didn't hear if you had soaked the new or used lifters and they were void of oil, so they didn't pump up and some either froze and allowed the resultant excessive slop to have them to come out of the lifter cups. Just a few thoughts.

Man i love the 74-78 dodge trucks(78 is my favorite, but they are all good) I became a chevy guy because i could afford them. Once you have 3 or 7 in the yard, your committed to that brand for compatibility sake. But i grew up on the passenger side of a 74 longbed with a loud 318, and a 4 speed. Watching the road go by through the rust holes in the floor. Then there was a 78 4x4 with a 360 that sounded rowdy as hell(cam, intake, headers, big 4 barrel carb)...but that was the last Dodge my dad had. All chevys after that. I know Chrysler stuff is always 2-3x the price, and harder to find. But this is going to be worth it when its done. Those 383 motors were just awesome rpm machines. You will get it, don't give up

Dylan, sorry to agree with a lot of comments: Sounds like you used a thicker head gasket? Therefore your valve clearances will be different. Can you not adjust valve clearances? That would solve pushrods falling out. New lifters? check them!! Cam wiped? not likely but possible, get cam checked by tuning shop, They may find something or not . I live in UK, and have no experience with any of your motors, BUT, I was engineer for 30yrs. For pushrods to fall out, it screams difference in clearances, thicker head makes that difference therefore you need adjustable rockers.

Just an old Dodge wrench with a few tried and true suggestions for your badass 400👍💯 ive modded many of these when i worked at the county shop, we would soup them up as far as we could for police use, we had several sattelites that were interceptors with tall rear gears that would run 150 mph all day long without overheating on 115° days with all that extra cop equipment weight in the car. These blocks were far superior to modern blocks because of the high nickle content iron they were cast with ( thats why they are so expensive to machine because they tear up cutters at the maxhine shop) all pre 1974 blocks no matter what displacement are the best for big reliable power, sure they're heavier but they will not crack in half when you push the limits like modern blocks will.

Why in the HELL would you go thru all the bullshit trying to convert a Mopar shaft rocker head to studs and guide plates? 🤦🏻 Shaft rocker setups are a THOUSAND time better than ANY stud and guideplate setup could EVER be. Go take a look at most big power engines, and you'll find a shaft rocker setup under the valve covers. It's SIMPLE to convert the Mopar shaft system to be adjustable... You simply purchase a set of aftermarket shaft rockers that have a threaded pushrod cup with a jam nut on the pushrod side, and then install them on the stock shafts. NO machine work, NO studs, NO guide-plates, and NO stud girdle needed. WHY would you spend a TON more money to convert the whole thing to a stud setup, and go BACKWARDS in performance and reliability in the process?? 🤪

I still have my 1971 Plymouth satellite Sebring super that I paid 500 bucks for in 1985. I loved the high rear end and 727 trans. I didn't want to screw it up with mods. I wasn't always that smart with other mopars😊

Watched Dead Dodge Garage episode where it was blowing the push rods out of the engine. He had to put in after market adjusters and set to zero lash like for a Chevy. It was only a few weeks ago if that. Seems very similar.

Definitely need a pole barn with gravel floor at least so they dont rust away after you put all the new parts on

Think it could be the head gaskets the thickness you said you put thicker head gaskets in

I’ve used these same head gaskets and same lifters on very similar builds. Shouldn’t be that big of a change to cause this kind of issue.

Head gasket thickness? Lifters not pumping up?
@dman123503
@dman123503 Ай бұрын
The head gasket thickness has changed from when they where cosmetic style so you pushrods are now to short you need to find zero lash and add 50 thousandths pre load in and that should be good but double check the length from the set that you used and see if there is any difference I would bet there is.

Another great video I believe if you found out what type of cam it is for sure and then got some new lifters it should fix the problem as I feel it's stuck lifters or it's not feeding the oil for some reason to those lifters I could be wrong looking forward to seeing what you do but if I were you I would extract the lifters out put new ones in and see if that fixes it before you tear it down looking forward to the next one Kraig from Washington State

Ive never seen something like this happen. My best guess is to look at your valve springs or valves. If the springs are weak they won't keep the proper pressure on the push rods and rockers. If the valves are sticking open the push rod is free to bounce loose and or bend if it binds on something.

Forgot about the thicker head gasket you used. If it's significantly thicker than the steel one you took off you might be introducing to much slop into valve train. You're stock length push rods might be to short.

check your valve train springs etc , take those heads out and replace everything that moves with new hardware

That big dc purple cam was the one to have for sure, I would suspect block or heads cut down more than is known creating valve train issues

You have a great channel, as evidenced by keeping it real instead of not uploading a video. There is no failure. There is only opportunity to improve. No doubt you'll get it sorted out. Keep Going, and Also try getting in touch with Steve Dulcich.

I had your problem one time before. Went to four sets of push rods. I replaced all the rocker heads and did not have that problem again. Believe that the rocker head has had a slight oblong look to it. And they just slipped right out. On your one that's not moving. I'm thinking you have a bad lifter.

Maybe you've mixed up the pushrods because they're made for specifically one side. Correct me if I'm wrong.

So with all that said you probably either need to do a put the factory gaskets back in it or be the longer pushrods.. because they are still hydraulic lifters when the lifter is on the Bass circle you shouldn't have any lash in those Push rods

Did you check for pushrod length? Sounds like no pre load.

Thanks Dylan for the content, I've been off regular tv for a long time and think it is great when you guys put out a video. I'm not a fan of a dodge but that one is a great looking truck. I'm a die hard car show watcher, We have the shows I'm watching on the net. Junkyard digs, vicegrip garrage, vehcor, rainman ray, powernation, paintucation. If I left anybody out? sorry. just saying regular TV is lacking and you guys hit the spot. Keep it up please. Have to say ray has the hooray

Man that was so weird but I think all of us understand how disappointing this is but how much work it took to get to this point. Don't feel bad about it man Don't get angry just get even no that's not right. But it would be cool to find out what the heck happened with this motor when you tear it down which would be cool to see sooner than later thanks for the great content.
