    I did a visual and it is def about 1/16th of an inch lower (engine upside down on stand). My old cover on my old engine matches perfectly. I don't understand why. The timeing cover is a replacement from Frod Racing and the longblock is brand new... Would pictures help?

    Oil pan question. Timing cover not flush

    Do you know if they made different covers? It's like a 1/16th of an inch... How about gaskets? Am I supposed to use a newer gasket that is thicker in that area? Yeah, I too believe silicone is just going to be either blown out or sucked in...

    Oil pan question. Timing cover not flush

    Yep, I went to put my oil pan on yesterday and the timing cover (original 1985) does not make a flush fit with the block for the oil pan to seal. Normal or do I need a newer version timing cover since my rebuilt long block 302 is 87 and up? Can I use silicone or is it just going to blow out...

    Looking for aftermarket oil pan package on my supercharged 85 capri

    So far, I like the Stef's aluminum 1060 pan. However, I'm not familiar with all the necessary parts with going to an aftermaket oil pan. I understand I'll need a pan, pickup, and gasket, right? Who sells a simple package?

    Without haggling drgas, they are showing a price of $65 for a pair on their website. Now, looking at the price of the muffler and buying the drgas tubes, I would be over $100 a side, right? How much is a single 40-series flowmaster?

    Camshaft questions? Lope, good sc cam

    1190 roller cam (.493/.510 212*/221*) Would this have a choppy idle? I have a powercharger 174 on my carb running 12 lbs of boost... Would it be considered a "good" sc cam over the stock shaft?
