Thread: knock, with backfire thru carb

Tweet

Still don't have it running, and I blame DynoMax.

I bought a "bolt up ready" exhaust system, and it is a pain in the butt.

Every thing is either too short or too long.

If you put in a non-roller cam try to find some zink heavey oil to break in the can or you may be looking at yet another flat cam. Todays oil is crap.

Such as? And is it available at your local Checker auto?

Melling, the people that make the best oil pumps, sell a small bottle of cam shaft break in oil. It only cost about $5 so I have used it the first 10,000 miles. Also use Rotella engine oil as a break in oil.

I was told to use rotella 15/40 to break in, and that's whats in it right now, and I will use that to break it in.
But is it enough?

Should I look for an additive, or is too much a bad thing?

For non roller cam engines. You need to get some of this stuff. You can Google it and buy from them direct. You should run it for the life of the engine. About $9.00 per 4oz. bottle. One bottle per 4 to 5 quarts of oil per instructions.
