  1. There's no residue anywhere that i can see It sounds like a pen hitting a desk It's coming from the drivers side someplace What if i sprayed PB blaster on each of them and see if it bubbles?
  2. Is there a way to tell if an exhaust leak is coming from the block or the end of the manifolds? This ticking is driving me crazy
  3. About 2 years ago i knew abolutely nothing when i came to carbed engines. After owning one, breaking down in one, racing one, and falling in love with one you'll never go back Fuel injection is witchcraft I love my monte
  4. Thanks for the advise man That sounds like a good idea
  5. They redid the heads on the east coast at a shop completely, i helped put it back together at the shop. I didn't touch the bottom end or the pistons, i didn't have any money left lol. before i did the heads i did a compression test and all of them were at 150 before and after. I don't know do you guys thing that it could've worn sinse march? The oil that was in there was nasty when i changed it, and last night it didn't look to good either. It's running great though, and it's not smoking when i start it. It's old and hasn't really been rebuilt well or taken care of, it doesn't suprise me that it's burning oil. When i get home i'll take the valve covers off and see. This is nothing compared to when i first got the car, i literally went through 2 1/2 quarts of oil in one day, it smoked like crazy. I'm pretty sure the guy that sold it to me put stop leak in it so i'd buy it. Almost all of the gaskets were nasty. Anyone else burn oil? It seems like a pretty common thing for an old 350 that's been stroked by a couple of morons in a garage, i'm just being realistic If i can put a quart in here and there i'm happy. If this is going to get worse, how long am i looking at?

  7. I just went outside and checked my oil and it was on the first D in add on the dipstick. It's not dripping, so it must be burning I redid the heads in he end of march and i changed my oil on 8/28 I'm pretty hard on it but i don't max it out, or rev like a maniac in parking lots. You guys know, average teenage muscle car owner abuse, minus power braking, reving, and power sliding . The block has 125k miles on it and most of the gaskets are fairly new. I know that it's normal to burn a little oil here and there but that much? I put a quart in tonight and it was 3/4 filled. It seemed a little dark too. i don't know any ideas?
  8. Hope everything works out
  9. I'm going to check them tomorrow I only had the brake in 2-3 clicks in. When it's all the way in it's like i'm towing someone lol
  10. Never thought about that They are getting pretty bad in the front. I just put new pads and calipers on about a month ago. I have never touched the rears
  11. For some reason lately I've been driving around with my parking break on accidentally Other than obvious wear on the pb am i hurting anything? Anyone else have this problem?
  12. I hover between 180-190 all the time 200 if im in really bad traffic
  13. My car has a twin brother
