Raise the rear with a jack like you said, I do it all the time. Use a level on the door sill to get it perfect!

There is no fuel filter, only the sock in the tank. My guess is igniton. Replace the cap/rotor/wires/plugs.

Is this coolant ok for an all iron SBC with an aluminum radiator?

Thanks for the input. I replaced the head with a reman unit. Set the lash to .014, spec is .010-.012. Also installed serviced injectors.

Just got it apart. Odd deposits on the face of the valve. I will consider setting them on the loose side on the replacement head.

Burnt #3 cyl exhaut valves about 30K ago. I replaced the valves (just lapped them) and now it has done it again 30K later. I'm replacing the head with a remanufactored one along with new fuel injectors. The injector for that cylinder is the only thing that I can think that would cause it? Any...

There should be a decal under the hood which indicates the correct amount of refringent to use.

FWIW, the Dorman I purchased from O'Reillys a couple years ago came with a lifetime warranty. It's been OK so far.

It is standard practice in many industries to follow the service data provided by the OEM if the data provided by the part manufactor is different. Here is an example that applies to this thread-Honda's service data says to use anti-seize on NGK plugs (I'm with Honda on this one).

I've kept the trans (auto) properly serviced. It does not leak or use any fluid or show signs of excess heat or wear material.

Very interesting-I will look into this.

I will inspect the top of the muffler-thanks for the suggestion!

Hey guys, I have a 2000 Honda Accord (4 cylinder) with 395000 miles. I replaced the engine at 290000 with a used serviceable unit. It has done this for awhile and I cannot find the source... It produces a noticeable burning rubber smell when climbing a significant hill at highway speeds. It's...

You're right-I posted this in a hurry earlier.

I recently found this on some Supertech ATF and coolant jugs. Here is a picture of the ATF jugs. Look at the level markings-the jug on the right has markings that indicate a liter being a greater quantity of fluid than a quart! Here is a jug of coolant I purchased the other day. It's...

Put dye in the system-it's available at almost any parts store. You can get it with the light that highlights it or get it separate for around $10.

See my post here, I would use Dexron 3. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/dex-3-or-dex-6.352132/#post-6053869

My 2005 Silverado had 3 it's entire life-I tried 6@240K miles and the tranny did work as well as it did with 3 (seemed to 'ease' into high gear, etc). I put 3 back in and it returned to it's original performance.
