Not claiming this is correct but my shop foreman used to tell me to never use RTV or any other sealer when installing a gasket. He says this amounts to double sealing and leaves a thicker sandwich for the middle portion to blow out or corrode. He said the gasket has to be tight against the sealing surfaces. I've always done it this way again not saying its right. Thanks for the vid, thumbs up!

That is interesting. The short answer is yes, you really don't need sealer, but it's cheap insurance and that is why I say use it lightly. It will make up for minor surface imperfections and parts that are not perfectly parallel

FYI, I don’t think 45ft/lbs & 25ft/lbs is the correct torque for the timing cover bolts… I just tried it and absolutely destroyed the gasket, dented the all steel cover, tweaked the timing pointer and the washers all look like I shot them through the center with a .45! I have new parts on order and nothing stripped but I followed this to the letter and was scratching my head. Might be worth an update if that possible.

I`m replacing the fuel pump in my 440...however, the engine is still in the car, so it`s very tricky to fit the pump and it`s lever at the push rod, and there`s some really tight space to fit the inner bolt near the engine block...my question is...would it be easier / possible to install the pump first with the push rod taken out and then install the new push rod afterwards?

Hey pete good stuff. Which part is the carter fuel pump? M4862 with 6 to 9.5psi. Or m6903.? My thermoquad floods at 8 psi. Im havin trouble with the pumps on my 440. One every oil change 4,000 miles or less!. Even a holley #440-11 lasted only 2,000 miles. Holley dealer said its the ethanol in fuel destroying/cracking the rubber inside pumps. What do you think is solution? Electric pumps that can handle alcohol? Or have you not heard of this problem. Ive driven 25,000 miles and 6 mechanical fuel pumps! I got 450hp and love to take long trips. Get 15.5 mpgallon on freeway with my 850 thermoquad which only has 8 hp less than 800cfm thunder series! Swapped them and tested both on dyno. Kept thermoquad for great mileage tunability. But had to drill out primary butterflies ..160"? to keep a steady idle. Old school!!! Hahaha

@PetesGarage

Жыл бұрын

An engine can go backwards when starting. The button keeps it from blowing through the cam cover

So, I'm wondering why you are using a cam button on a 440 Mopar engine? The cam always has rearward pressure on it from driving the oil pump andthe distributor, and the back of the timing chain sprocket thrust face is always in contact with the block. If the cam were ever to move forward, the pushrod for the fuel pump would wipe-out the first lobe on the cam. I'm having a discussionon a Mopar forum about this exact subject, and I'd like to know if I'm missingsomething? Thanks Pete! You gotta clean shop Man!

@PetesGarage

5 жыл бұрын

That is a great question. When you let off the gas there is a chance of the cam moving forward, that is why there is a button and the clearance is .009" or less. It does not happen often, But I have seen timing covers pushed out at the cam.

I had my 440 rebuilt and for some reason after installed and wont crank right with new battery and starter when turning the crank shaft by hand with a breaker bar, plus it is really really hard to turn the motor over to TDC even with the plugs out? , the engine has never ran it wont start we been trying to start it for 3 days now. I'm thinking the company that rebuilt the motor did something wrong but that's rare. it has a winding sound even with the torque converter un bolted from the crankshaft if the fuel pump rod and oil pump aren't jiving right could that make it crank slow ? What is your thoughts on this? This is odd.

I know there area a lot of variables. Cam, pistons, stroked, heads, supercharged, I can go on and on. I think I will use Gear Vendors overdrive system to help with the gearing. Right now I'm gather the information for what is required per the rule books. Any thoughts? sources? builders to recommend Some people say on the old mopar blocks to have a girdle put in. So you can see my being overwhelmed. HELP I would love to get Mark Worman from Graveyard carz to do the rolling chassis in Petty Blue with the required roll cage and I could drop the engine in.

A windage tray can hold up and delay oil from getting to the bottom end. If you race circle track and use a dry sump, the bottom end can get starved for oil. Some people think the windage tray is needed for a stroker to reduce bubbles, but I've never had an issue.

Specially if your trapped in the 80's still running that motor honey thick 20w50. And the fact that Summit & Jegs both make a very premium rubber pan gasket that has the windage built in with steel crush rings too so you can't over tighten it's become a no Brainerd.
