Question on Harmonic Damper touching the timing cover? Do you think is will move once it's warmed up
running the engine? I mean the rubber between the 2 parts to straighten it out? It looks like one side is in a little to the timing marks and the rotate it and the other side ( 180 degrees ) it's...
I started to reassemble the 340, I ended up having the heads done they needed a lot of work.
new springs, face cut, valves triple ground.
Installing oil pump and windage tray. Next is the oil pan.
Question: Do you put RTV in the slot end rubber caskets? I have seen some videos that do.
mine...
Wow I seem to have 3 posable positions for the pulling to fit on the balancer. I did try the bolt on all 3
and the work. I'll have to do some more digging, Thanks Weldguy.
Oh I didn't mark mine after pulling it. i sand blasted it and repainted it. I'll have to check how it lines up. I have not cleaned up my harmonic balancer yet I did mark that. Thank for the information.
I decided to buy valve cutting tools.
will be doing all exhaust and intakes on each head. and lap valves. I found out that I need .080 to .105 seats for intake and .090 - .110 exhaust seats. so I will be working on that. I have also been chasing treads and black Oxide most of the external bolts...
Thanks JDmopar yes I ended up getting positive vitron seals for all. I have another question if anyone knows. I did a manual lap on all the valves. does anyone know where specs are for
the seat width for intake and exhaust? 30, 45, 60 degree faces.
Thanks for your help!
I attended Mopar's in the park in Minnesota and it was a nice show. I did find a guy in Minnesota
working / helping the guy in Texas selling dash covers. For a 1973 Cuda 1 speaker $1300.00 + your core.
The good part about this is I get to see the dash before buying it. Looks like I can move...
I did have the heads Magnaflux tested they are good also for compression. I think the problem was the water passage through the timing chain cover. The fuel pump opening was thick coolant but that was the only location of that. I ended up buying a new timing cover.
I have another question for the 1973 Cuda 340. I am going to replace the valve seals
and pulled off the old ones but can't seem to find the exact make of the ones I have.
there is a small spring on the bottom side around the valve guide for both intake and exhaust ones and a small sleeve around...
