see if Penrite will sponsor you. aussie made👍

HPR in the Mopar . THIS IS THE WAY

[@patrickwayne3701]

Scotty, the Chrysler engineering team put those oil grooves there for a good reason. That little stream of oil made for the LA series of engines to have a fantastic reliability record because of the proper attention paid to oiling all the rotating bits as well as the cylinder walls. The newer 5.7 'Hemi' as they call it, is positively eating cams and tappets in vehicles that idle allot because they aren't lubing the cam and tappets from above or below thanks to design changes from the venerable LA, which they replaced. Nothing like a big slice of humble pie for new engineers when it's delivered by engineers from the 50's and 60's! So, you are totally right that those galleries should be squirting. All these bearing manufacturers are not worth the fingernail clippings of those old engineers who created the machinery that helped win WWII.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

The engine is still going strong, so I did something right

@@davydoo81 It's a recipe for throwing away money if you ask me. I can picture a spun bearing, a scored journal and schwarf through the entire motor and another rebuild. Not good when Scotty is already on a tight budget. The mix of bearing wasn't measured for round either. The plastic is ok for measuring clearance, but it doesn't measure all the way around the bearing inner surface. I hope I'm wrong but........

[@w2moparpaul419]

Hey Scotty, a tip for the No.5 main bearing housing vs oil pump. You need to mill down the cap (nut face) to create additional clearance for stud to pump. By memory I gave it around 5-6mm.

Nothing wrong with the factory bolts, for N/A.

Hi scotty did went thru the same shit with the arp bolt that was hitting the oil pump and just went with the factory main bolt like u did and works a treat. Just one pointer bud , take the time to smooth out the oil pump and cap feed hole for smooth oil flow . Cheers george

[@counterfeitcash6513]

Hey Scotty. It is always a good Idea to leave a steel welsh plug in, as they act as a sacrificial anode. and that is also true with a die cast alloy t/stat housing. replace a cheap part or 2 or replace cylinder block/ heads

[@xbgtfella]

Pity i wasnt there Scott, could have helped you knock up a simple jig based off old rid bearings assembled with oil holes and used jig to drill correct hole into the two halves. A light oil stone of the burrs from the drill process, clean thoroughly and you are golden. Mass produce and sell jig on ebizzle...

I just watched a video on the Mopar 318ci engine that was stroked 4in to make it 410ci that produced 526hp and 542lbft at the flywheel. Not a bad result for what was originally an old 318ci engine. Not exactly the news you need to hear after you just finished your rebuild.

I could have done the stroker, but to be honest, I wanted to see how we could do with a 318 cube engine. It's a good engine, still running strong.

[@64nine]

thx valvoline

[@tony66au]

Valvoline whyyyyy? Nulon, time to shine fella's, Aussie Aussie Oi Oi! Geeze the Teen is giving you some serious ballache Scotty, im surprised ARP haven't added an alternative to the OEM bolts to their Teen kit, its a major oversight when you have to start chopping off bits to make stuff fit AND going back to the old OE bolt. So this 318 is going to be more like the 340 which were a pearler of a donk just unobtanium these days, The Mule Ute 340 version with the NuProcess Manual Box was a dream spec of mine (Info for the Punters, Chrysler Aus used VF and VG ute's shortened to test/develop the VH Charger platform) but a Teen is looking more likely for me now when I get sick of the 245 column shift eventually with some hypertec's and other goodies. Actually maybe Holley or Edelbrock would be interested in sponsoring Carnage and getting some coverage in Street Machine, christ knows we buy enough of their stuff.

[@stephenwest798]

You are correct to not have oil on the plastic gauge as it is oil soluble, but you should not have oil on the upper bearings either as oil takes up space, both bearing surfaces should be dry to get the correct reading. And when you blow your lower disk in your back by lifting improperly you will regret not using a shop crane as many will tell you that made that same mistake, I for one.

[@geneva760]

[@walterfurian8806]

Scotty that’s normal running a std hex bolt for oil pump clearence funny thing is ARP no matter how many people have complained about this issue still haven’t fixed this issue. Just wanted to point out while you haven’t fitted the sump lose that pump gasket don’t use one run a straight edge on the pump surface make sure it’s flat . One other thing unfortunately those rear main seals whether it’s Felpro , ect are a hit and miss really a shit seal neoprene and is too stiff and has no give and unfortunately due to the wings setup you are limited on what you can use . On my 360 you can get the later Model magnum seal which is a Vitron material and is a double lip and you clock the seal 3/16 off the block and cap , a touch a silicon on the ends and viola. No leaks. Scotty I have a new Hughes engines stud girdle 318-340 with all the hardware and I’m happy to contribute free of charge mate if you can use it in the mule . I’m in the western suburbs of Melbourne if you want to drive out and pick it up. Drop me a line if your interested. Cheers

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Yeah I used to do the offset seal trick alot but the wings stopped that.

Scotty mate keep it up, just thinking just how much better the performance parts are now days compared to the 1980's doing 11's was considered the top of the range st car, now days unless your doing low 9's or even 8's your doing really well?

[@duanebiesterfeld4719]

The reason why the rope seals leak it is because of the knurling on the crankshaft right behind the number five main cap is wore down to where the diagonal hash marks are barely visible. Those diagonal hash marks or knurling is what brings the oil back into the engine instead of leaking out. When it's flat and shiny there's no way the rope seal can do its job.

[@brianberrier5168]

Can I ask if you said not to use oil it can mess up the reading should it be done with or without pre lube under the crank ?
