I *think* the shifting difficulty is likely the clutch is not fully releasing. It may just need a pedal stop adjustment. I didn't have an assistant to push the pedal to help measure the master and slave throw, I started with the fluid change. Alice took me down the rabbit hole. I don't know...

I have a TKO 600 with no external coolers/pumps, etc. It has about 4000 miles total on it - weekend/sunny day car only. I have run it pretty hard on the track a handful of times (maybe 6 days over the last 3 years). After the initial break-in, I changed the oil to Valvoline MTF. The manual...

The WIX cellulose filter is a paper filter.

Since I have an open hood scoop, I need a filter that will tolerate getting wet. I don't plan on driving in the rain, but have gotten wet a few times. The paper filters won't work. If they get wet in the rain, they will dissolve. WIX makes a cellulose filter that may work. Is cellulose a...

I have the typical oval Cobra-style filter. Due to hood restrictions, I can't use a 14" round filter. I tried a 9 inch round that was about an inch taller, but actually had less filter area. I can go back to the paper filter. I'm going to watch the silicone. It may just be resetting the oil...

Custom 408W in a cobra replica with about 3000 miles total on the motor. I built it with all new parts except the 1982 block. Full machining with line hone, head decking, etc. It has AFR 195 heads. About 1500 miles ago I had to completely rebuild the heads. TWO spring failures (one intake, one...

Thanks for all the suggestions. Looks like a 0w40 or a 5w40 is recommended. A couple votes for Mobil 1. Not sure what a hdeo is, but I'm guessing dino oil. (I saw a sticky that listed acronyms - I'll check that out.) Forget the extra additives since I have a roller cam and lifters. Got it...

First post - sorry for the length. I have a self-built 351w in my home-built kit car cobra. Since I built it, there are no manufacture's recommendations on what oil to use. I have read a lot of the posts here. Some even say to post this in the race forum, but I'm going to try here first. The...
