Do I need some oil in the spark plug holes or anything since it's been sitting awhile , everything was fine before .

Thats what I was doing but when I was cranking the engine with a rachet it stopped like it hit something , I backed it back and did the same , when I went clockwise again it went smooth , so not sure what happened but it moves now .

My Cuda has been sitting since Jan 1 , I finally have the oil and trans pan on and lowered it to start on top , I new the 1 cyl. was at top and I wanted to see if it was comp or exhaust so I started to hand crank it clockwise and it did not go far till it stopped , I then went counter clockwise...

Thanks for the help , really appreciate it.

Thats clean , very nice.

Do you know what size the castle nut is .

Why would someone put lock nuts on those .

On both right .

What are you supposed to have on the center link for nuts and the copper pins , do both have nuts and copper pins or nut and copper pin to tie rod and lock nut on the idler arm , im tired so may not be making sense but just looking for clarification if possible.

I tried my best but I started at the trans because I knew the k-menber holes would suck , my last hole I couldn't get the bolt in , I kept trying then heard a piece of metal drop in the pan , so I took it off and found the little metal ring broke off on the gasket , which is rubber with metal...

Damn that's alot , plus the extra for the deep pan , cool thanks .

Yes I agree , Im new to this mechanic engine stuff so Im learning alot from everyone here , I did have to cut out a hole in the wingage tray for the bend in the tube , mine is from Summit with the gasket attached to the tray and Im just going to use the 5qt ''402'' pan , the tube matches...

I just wasn't sure about the extra oil in a bigger pan if it could be higher off the bottom of the pan , I might just return it and just go with the 402 pan I have , im sure it's fine for weekend cruising.

Even at 1/2 in. , I already tried Teflon tape but didn't like the way the tape squeezed out so not doing that , will blue loctite hold it if it's in loose .

I ordered the 6qt hemi pan and 4 1/2 pickup tube from 440 Source , the pickup tube in snug is more like 4 1/4 and the pan is 5 in . I can get it to 4 1/2 but the tube is not tight , with the extra oil in the pan , 7 qrts , is it ok to be 3/4 to a 1/2 in. off the pan bottom , thanks again for any...

Good to hear someone else has the same as me , I have them at 11 ft lbs , hopefully good there , and I will recheck after it gets running . Do you remember how many qrts of trans fluid you used .

I torqued them to 11 , on a thick gasket like this should I go higher .

When I replaced the transmission Pan and gasket I did not use any thread locker on the bolts , I have not ran her yet still working on the oil pan , I just went to check the bolts and some I had to tighten just slightly , I have the thick blue Moroso gasket and deep pan , do I need locker or...

Alot of work for 2 inches , at least for me , thanks for the info , maybe next winter project .
