    1725 Cylinder Head

    Looking for a usable 1725 head (aluminum). I don't mind if I need to have a little machine work done. I already have a torn down 1725 head with valves and springs so I'm not necessarily looking for a complete head.

    Engine Bearing Question

    I have simple question about engine bearings. After pulling my crank shaft I inspected the main bearings and connecting rod bearings for stamped markings. What I found were that the connecting rod bearings are stamped with .030 U/S and the main bearings are stamped with .020 U/S. So that must...

    1725 Usable Head?

    I’m going thru my recently acquired 1725. I pulled the head last week and two things stood out to me. 1st the head has been resurfaced too about it’s limit. 2nd there are small pin holes around the water jackets. I never noticed these small pin holes the times I pulled the head on my 1600...

    Oil Leak

    I have developed a pretty server oil leak somewhere on the front side of the engine over the last year. This leak however does not show it self unless I'm driving under the right conditions.

    Ed’s Solid State Gauge Regulator

    I’m currently installing a Rebel harness. Years ago I installed one of Ed Esslinger’s solid state gauge regulators. While pulling out the old harness I foolishly forgot to label the wires on his regulator. I have 3 color wires on it. Green, black, and white. Black and green are together on one...

    Wheel Sizes

    I have set 13” mini lite wheels that I put on my SIV about 15 years ago. The wheels are starting to delaminate and I lost one of the cheap plastic center caps.

    Leaking Heater Core

    My heater core recently started leaking. I pulled it out and rerouted the hoses so I can continue to drive for the summer. It’s leaking from the side where the metal is seamed together. Has anyone had luck getting these repaired? Or do I need to just look for scrap one that is still in good shape?

    Timing Chain Tensioner

    I have pulled the engine out of my SIV and have it broken down to the block. I'm not doing anything major, just giving it a refresh.

    Rear Diff Mystery

    I am having trouble diagnosing a problem. last week pulling into traffic (kind of heavy on the throttle at take off) in 1st gear a noise came from what sounded like the rear end. The noise sounded like gears jumping teeth if that makes any sense. The car felt like the clutch slipped. Once...

    I am on my third rear end. They have all began howling at some point. My S IV is stock. Im at my wits end with this.
