It does but its a rope seal. I see guys using pipe cleaners and silicone. The original plastic pieces fit tight. It seems like the factory used contact cement and maybe this? I do watch nick and he had that leaky 383 nightmare. I want to avoid that at all costs. I think he got a new crank to...

looks like mine has the 67 style

try soaking in white vinegar. I'd say fill it half way then after a few days to a week, flip it over. You'd be surprised how good it cleans

I am starting to stress out about how to do the rear seal. The crank still has the knurling untouched. The seal plate had these plastic inserts that look like they are in good shape. Should I reuse them? Does anyone know what the black glue was they used at the factory? It looks like they used...

The duplicolor industrial red is next and this was spraying horribly. The tip would not come out so I could not change it. It sprayed like chain lube. Gonna be alot of runs but this isnt a beauty contest, I just what to get something on it before it rusts. As my fore-fathers would say, "good...

Well on with the primer and paint. proform 654 primer was what I was told on the tins and block

This camera doesnt seem to like to play with this light or something. I see some lint and I think the shop coated the surface a bit. I will wipe it down with acetone I guess on build day. does it look ok? hopefully its a good enough surface for steel shims like the factory gaskets?

I am leaning heavily towards building the 516 heads. If places would broker this stuff it wouldn't be so bad but leaving it up to fedex I'm gonna get my a$$ handed to me. As much as I want some hot heads, I dont think in my case I'm gonna get to see the benefit. Its a tough decision. If it was...

yes he true'd the deck and it was about 10. the light was playing games I'll post some pics in a bit, just in the middle of painting

well thats the issue. I have stock 516 heads that need to be rebuilt or buy stealth heads. Its gonna be a small fortune either way

The deck is -10, cylinders bored 30+ Crank was polished and checked good at std. block was cleaned magna-fluxed, cam bearing and frost plugs, galley plugs replaced. supplied cam bearings installed. The block was also final cleaned and prepped ready to go. old pistons off the rods, new pistons...

My Godfather let me borrow this cool old school trouble light. I hope I remember where all these bolts go. :confused:

I got this little parts washer for $35 off craigs and I'm happy with it. I think I need some diesel or something else in here I'm pretty surpised at the quality of all the bolts and brackets. It might be the varsol but I feel like I'm panning for gold. :D

I guess I'll continue here. I got the block back, got the crank and pistons rods. https://www.forcbodiesonly.com/mopar-forum/threads/got-my-66-383-block-back-from-the-machine-shop.87023/ I still need to figure out what to do about heads rockers and push rods. But I need to start cleaning...

sounds like a part throttle issue like its dripping down the carb or leaning out. maybe a couple taps on the float bowl and some seafoam in the tank? was it sitting up a bit? I know a loose timing chain would act like that too because the timing is see-sawing at the near constant

No I couldn't do that as parts here (Canada) cost a fortune and then he adds more (even though at first he said I would get everything at his discounted account price). Like the pistons I paid $600 off summit and he quoted me over $1200. I just cant do it, it drives me mad even contemplating it...

Yes I agree the heads should be ready to go out of the box but I figure since everyone says they are not, I should use the service they have and get it done I'd guess. I was hoping I tell them the cam and they would shim the seated height and such for that. I hope... I'm looking at these...

the stock cam did go in freely. the other bearings are dead on. maybe they do that to the front for some reason? I paid IMO alot of money that should have covered all the bases. I haven't got a new cam yet I been doing research to make sure I get the right one. The lifter and cam failures I see...
