Front cover leak
What are the yellow highlighted things? As I will replace front cover gasket, oil pan gasket and tear main seal along with rear main bearing cap fix, is there going to be something else needing attention with these yellow highlighted items?!i

THise rubber tits are the oil pan gasket as pictured below. For the rear main seal, DO NOT USED Best Gasket brand as it is a known defective seal The company knows about it and continues to sell them.
Get a good rear main seal from Caddy Daddy. Use a seal saver on the harmonic balancer to repair the lip in the sealing surface.

Thank you! Learned something new about the front and rear gaskets on the oil pan!
Russ, not familiar with a seal saver for the harmonic balancer?

Hi Dave,
I haven't had to use one, but if there is a groove in the harmonic balancer (the part that fits onto the crankshaft), the thin seal saver can allow a smooth rotation near the front seal. Russ is 100% right. It might tap on easier if H. Balancer is frozen and sleeve is heated in oven.

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
