Carnage - Dad's Ute Part-9 - Building a 400hp 318 Mopar Part-1

[@willrogers5713]

see if Penrite will sponsor you. aussie made👍

[@NZMOPAR]

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

[@dustyfarmer]

Good job VALVOLINE for sponsorship. I use & like VALVOLINE high temp bearing grease, it's good stuff.

Love the 318! Internally balanced, just needs compression , cam, and stout rods with quality bearings. Not only that you can get quality alumunum heads and intake for em, but never ever use anything but a Holley or thermoquad carb. Edelbrocks are passable but certainly not the best. The old carter afb is far superior to an edelbrock copy

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

[@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.

[@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...

[@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.

[@matt.ja90]

Might seem like a rookie question Scotty but for the oil galleries thru the bearings could you use a dremel to file some new divots into the bearing edges and then diamond file?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

you could but you need to be perfect with it

[@paulmartin3340]

It's a shame about losing the sponsorship but I'm sure there is another quality oil company that will take up the slack. Good luck and thanks for the entertaining episode. Cheers once again from STALAG SYDNEY !! 🇦🇺👍😁🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺😁👍🇦🇺

[@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.

[@martinturner9823]

can you get the piston bearings machined to have the hole for the oil squirter??

[@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.

[@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.

[@MRMOPARMAN0426]

Yaaaaasss, all the nitrous!!

[@7071t6]

the ring cap is just over 3/4 of a mm ,which when you consider, like you said that 0.20 thousands for each inch of bore diameter, so work it backwards its over 4 times the power of the stock engine so around 600 hp approx.?

I’ve got a 318 that’s been in storage full of oil for 25+ years, if we were to resurrect it, do you think we need to go as deep? It’s been great watching your work on this engine and getting to see what’s inside and how it goes together. I haven’t got the budget to throw new parts at this one tho.
