    stroker oil pan leak issues?

    stroker oil pan leak issues?

    thanks. when i get the time to do it, i'll take a real close look at the block surface. i'm pretty sure it's not the new doorman oil pan, there might be a pry dent or something that i have cleaned over/rounded off on the block. it's leaking from the back half of the pass side rail. what do you...

    stroker oil pan leak issues?

    ok guys, i'm putting this in modified tech because im wondering if any of you stroker guys are having the same problem... ive had a lotta trouble lately with my (95' block) stroker leaking oil from the pan gasket(s). the third gasket is now sitting in the shop waiting to be installed. it will...

    Summer temps - XJ Starting to run hot.

    i second ecomikes IR heatgun suggestion. it's a lot easier to troubleshoot and usually cheaper with the right tool rather than replacing part after part to guess where the problem is. i just put in a stroker and replaced 3 things that weren't broken, got the heat gun, then replaced the part that...

    why xj's tend to overheat!

    I HOPE that i get it by the end of the week. i'll keep ya' posted! as far as inadvertantly rehashing the 3 row debate, i'm not trying to bash, but i still think that a 1 or 2 row is superior, unless the 3 row cores are each the same inner diamater or larger than stock. i can guarantee that...

    why xj's tend to overheat!

    i'm still not sure which material is superior, but i think the all aluminum radiator that i just bought is much better than the 15 peice stamped and glued all metal radiators...

    why xj's tend to overheat!

    yeah, i know not another radiator thread, blah, blah. ok, so i think i've read every single radiator option post on naxja tonight, and was thinking of going with a 3 core radiator, and then it hit me like a brick. the problem in our radiator design is flow resistance. period. the friggin'...

    help me double check my lifter preload?

    i used a stainless ruler and a feeler gauge and sure enough, the ex. valves were at a slightly different height. i double checked the preload, and they're all within spec. i think too i was just getting different readings where i got a little "generous" with the cam lube.:) i turned it over a...

    help me double check my lifter preload?

    i just got off the phone with zach from 505(really nice guy). he said it was the valves were set at different heights. i asked if i could set different height shims under each side of the bridge to compensate, and he said that it would be ok. but i didn't need to unless it was turbo'd. i'm gonna...

    help me double check my lifter preload?

    i rotated the crank to check every valve on the heel(not the lobe). everything from the pushrods down is new. the cam is a 505 performance grind. any ideas?

    help me double check my lifter preload?

    hey i'm about done with my stroker, and i'm not completely sure about the preload. from what i understand both rocker arms in the same bridge need the same thickness shim. but for some reason my intake lifters average about .022 more preload then the exhaust-? the most preload on the intake side...

    proper stroker engine break in?

    so pretty much i need to do initial start up with the additive, immediately start varying the speed between 1500-2000rpm for about 20 min, shut it down, change the oil, preferably with more additive and let it cool. then drive it for a few hundred miles in short trips, running 'er wide open...

    proper stroker engine break in?

    hey how do you all break in your strokers? what oil /additives do you run? what oil change intervals? i've seen a lot of posts about camshaft failures, but not much about breaking them (in) properly. let's get technical!:guitar:
