having my 1965 Plymouth POLY 318 rebuilt and am having trouble sourcing replacement 30 over stock pistons. one or two sources on EBAY and one in Canada ( engine parts store in Brit. Colu) anybody know of a reliable source for 30 over stock pistons. Sealed Power 1061 NP I believe is the part #...

hopefully pulling the poly next week or soon, then its off to the machine shop. if it checks out all ok, she will be rebuilt !

thanks to all replies.im thinking rebuild the poly also, as i know it will drop right back into place with no mods. if the motor checks out ok at the machine shop ill go that way, but if not then will probably look to a early LA 318. i know of 1 here in town that i could buy at a reasonable...

hi all. ive got a 1965 fury 3, with a worn out poly 318. it was dropping oil pressure the last 2 years , and now its been determined that the cam bearings are totally shot. my question is, do i do a total rebuild on the poly, it will be spendy ( parts wise ) or i may have access to a late 60's (...

Yes, I had the valve covers off last year. took them off to paint them satin black with new poly 318 decals. the top of the heads were all nice and clean a little dirty oil color but no sludge at all or didn't see any pieces of valve guide seals there either. I was pretty impressed with how...

Took the car out and ran it today in the afternoon at about mid-80s degrees, fresh oil filter fresh oil change pressure still reading about the same maybe even dropping a little lower at 38 to 40 psi at highway speed and 8- 10 at idle. In 2022 it ran 49 hwy and 20 idle. There is no unusual or...

Hi Guys. Thanks for all the information. this is what I got going. I'm running Valvoline VR1 10/30 in the winter and 20/50 in the summer. Its about 85°-93° mainly in summer. I don't use any extra additives or motor flushes.first thing I did was replace my Stuart Warner mechanical oil pressure...

I have a 1965 Plymouth Fury 3 with a poly 318 motor and auto trans. 120k miles,runs great but I'm losing oil pressure, last year went from 49 to 45 at hot hwy speed and 20 to 16 at hot idle. this year hot hwy speed is now 40 lbs and hot idle is 12lbs. looking to see if I can just drop the oil...

Hi Dave and everyone at FCBO. been away from the site all summer but i see more replies and info to my vibration problem. its still going on , latest things ive done or checked are, had the original harmonic balancer sent to Cali and rebuilt. installed a month ago, no change. double checked...

Thanks Dave

Thanks to all for replies. I'm going to look into inspecting the flex plate for cracks, breaks or being loose. Are new flex plates available if it is broke or cracked and needs replaced ? Thanks

Hi, I have posted this last year and have been checking for the vibration but it is still present and seemingly getting worse. 1965 Fury poly 318, 120k miles ,all stock, we replaced water pump, timing gears and chain with double roller in 2022.timing chain was tight on left side, but sloppy...

thanks guys for the replies and advice, think i'll do a new carter pump and add the old one to the used but still working parts collection in the tote in the trunk.

im thinking the diaphram is leaking inside the pump housing as the clear fuel filter is now empty after sitting for 7-8 days. its bled partially off before but never emptied the fuel filter. i cant really tell if the motor oil has a gas smell to it or not. reading past threads seems like a new...
