Hi folks,
So I got some concerns about my old nailhead.
It has some serious blow-by issues from all openings: breather, valve cover bolts, dipstick,...you name it and it blows. :/
It doesn't...
Right, so I best go out hunting for a good 322 to throw in then. I assume the '54-'56 nails are all basically thesame as far as fitting goes?
Or any other engines that could bolt upto the '54...
So I've got my '54 running pretty good after struggeling to get rid of lifer noise. But it still has tons of blowby.
On a roadtrip now through Sweden and I have to add a quart of oil every...
She lives to break down another day!
Got my new rockers and pushrods in the other day and new the nail runs perfectly like it should.
Now the real test will come when I take my 2000 mile round...
Well, changed the lifters on the 3 noisy valves but no difference.
Good news is the new cam seems to be in good shape aswell as the lifters. Bad news is my rockers are worn out.
So I've got 16 new...
So the old man pulled off the valve covers yesterday while I was at work. No problems in the right bank, but the left bank has play on the exaust of no. 1 and 3, and on the intake of no. 4.
I'm...

Break-in was damn scary! for the first 10-12 minutes it sounded like it was gonna blow itself to hell, but then it settled down (as did...
Well at one point in it's life it was already converted to '56 spec and 1:6 rockers, so I assume the cam in it already was a '56.
How can I make sure the distibutor will work?
So I want to put smaller hubucaps on my 54' Roadmaster. Currently I just hace the almost 15 inch full hubcap.
Will older style ('50-'52') fit if I get the tabs? I like the older style script...
I'm installing a stock '56 cam. Nobody around here builds engines as far as I know so... *lol*
Won't the assembly lube be enough, given that the oil I have is aready 'high zinc' (1200ppm)? All the additives I can find won't get through because they have substances illegal for Europe/Belgium.

Hi all,
I'm going to change the cam and lifters in my '54 sometime next month and have a few questions that can probably be answered here.
First, I am using Lucas-oil assembly lube to put the...
Hey all,
So I'm looking to replace my cam since the one currently in my '54 is junk.
After looking around the internet I came across 'Schneider Racing Cams', they have 7 options available...
So I'm not really sure where to post this so I'll just put it up here.
I'm from Europe(Belgium) and parts are not that easy to get and quite expensive with shipping and all of that.
Now I'll be...
Ok, thanks alot for that info!
So if I got this right, installing a new '56 cam should fix the whole deal I got here?
No work other than maintenance has been done to the car apart from the interior restoration as I said before.
It was a daily driver for the first owner from 1954 until 1998. There is no...
