Beginner Built MOPAR - Will it RUN?

- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Mopar 360 Built Part 7 - Time to fire up our freshly build Mopar 360 and see if she will run, and hopefully break-in the cam. This is a hydraulic flat tappet cam, and those have a decently high risk of failing on break-in. This video covers the work leading up to the first start, the cam break-in, and discussion of all the issues we ran into. This is the original small block MOPAR engine from the 1974 Plymouth Duster I am building.
This is part of our 360 beginner engine build series, so if you haven't seen that and want more of the details on the engine, be sure to go check that out.

You're having fun !! If some mistakes aren't made you're perfect and nobody is. Terrific
Thanks Michael, yes it was definitely fun!! Mistakes are just part of the learning process😀. Thanks for following!
Using the K-frame as a run stand is brilliant and a great example of why you pre lube the engine with a drill, sucks to break it down again but would have really sucked if you drove the car, good job guys.
Thanks Mike! I appreciate it Sir! Yes, definitely good that we caught the issue early. Installing under the car via K frame was your idea I am pretty sure, you recommended it a while back when I put the K frame in the car. Thanks for staying with me, I appreciate the support and tips!!👍
Hey Marcos, your engine sounded great.
Sorry to see you had the head gasket issue.
I agree nothing hurt.
A little bump in the road.
Hats off to Mostly Old Cars!
For the expert help.
Nice having a support people in place to help you.
I am excited for you.
Your car will be running soon.
Take care, Ed.
Thanks Ed! Yes, it was a super exciting time.
Hi , I think your issue is the copper head gaskets, try using fel- pro perma torture gasket and your problems should be done.
Thanks Jeff, yes I think you are right. Those gaskets were a bad choice. Thanks for watching!
This is so exciting for you even with the small issues and I am serious, small issues. Cometic head gaskets are supreme. A little pricey but you pay for quality. Nice to see your project moving forward. My sponsor says hello to your sponsor 😁
Hey buddy, Thanks!!! Yes, super exciting times, I should hopefully be able to get it put back together this weekend. One step at a time, but feeling a little momentum now 👍. Say Hi to your sponsor for me also😁
I hope your wife had cookies for the neighborhood!!! Awesome video, congrats on the build! Huge sense of pride hearing one you've built start up
Haha, yeah we made some noise. Thankfully my neighbors are cool. Thanks for the support buddy!!
Great vid Marcos...you have come ahead in leaps and bounds in the last 2 years... Great work for a guy learning as you go...we all have the occasional fail and its how you recover that matters!! Cant wait to see her driving...not too far to go now...Kudos to your buddies too...Patrick is a great guy with some knowledge to share
Thank you Aaron!! Much appreciated. It has been a long road, but a rewarding one. Hopefully driving this summer. 😁
FelPro 1008. Done. Coppers will almost always leak. If you need to go with something thinner, then go with Cometic MLS gaskets. You can get them in almost any thickness you want. Sounds pretty good, though! Keep at it!
Hey Scott, thanks buddy! Patrick also recommended to 1008's and that is what is going on this weekend 👍. Thanks for watching!
Should get those rpms up as soon as it starts. Timing can be roughly set. If there is any problems like leaks or misfiring you can just shut it down. Your buddy must be a novice. The only time you should this is with a roller cam. Glad to see your progress, just don’t want to see it go boom. Good luck with it. I have tried to follow this build, but you know life gets in the way. My 360 at this point is going on 2 years and has taken a backseat multiple times with all my other projects. Hope yours will be good for years to come!
We ran it through the range a bit, Patrick has built quite a few engines. Thanks for following! I can certainly appreciate the life delays. This one has taken me nearly a year with life delays and machining/fit issues that have come up. Thanks for the support!
@@DustorBust NP, it’s been fun watching so far. Hope to be back at it soon with mine, however I have to head back to the machine shop as well for my block and that’s not to mention my heads maybe cracked. Those aluminum ones are not as affordable as they used to either. 🙄
@@wht240sxka haha, this sounds very familiar. Yeah, I now see why people do create engines, rewarding to build your own though . Good luck!
It sounds awesome! Those are very odd head gaskets. Not something I’d have felt comfortable using. Also, you can only use a head gasket (or any gasket really) once. Once you crush it, it’s used. Keep grinding, looking forward to seeing the progress!
Thanks, I appreciate the support!! Yep, I agree with that would not risk rerunning a header gasket. I picked up some new ones, hopefully it resolved the issues. 👍
Thanks for posting ! Been enjoying the ride. Hang in there !
Hi Kameron, thanks for the support!!
Very cool build sucks about the head gaskets. But your build is exactly like mine is even down to the same cam. Nice to hear what it would sound like. Mines still torn all the way down.
Hi Dustyaman, yes, sucks but at least no cam issues. I was definitely happy with the sound, hope are as well when yours gets done. Pretty cool that they are the same build! Thanks for following the progress!! Good luck getting yours together, it took me way longer than I planned, hang in there.
Just use the fuel pro blue gaskets always worked for me nice duster
Marcos, excellent video! There are two plugs on the sides of the block (down by the motor mounts) that if you pull them it will drain the block so that when you pull the heads it will not have any water left to leak out.
Thanks Patrick!! I had thought by pulling the water lines it would gravity drain...wrong again😂. Thanks again for the help, it sounded great!
Friken awesome clip. Sorting stuff out is just par for the course when ya hot rod shit. Keep those sponsors happy!!!
Thanks buddy! Haha 😂 yeah, things usually don't go right the first time. Thankfully my sponsor puts up with me.
Tough learning the hard way that's how I did too before the internet wrecked a couple engines....lots of good engine building books out there too keep plugging away sounded 👍 👌
Thanks Dj! Yes, I have a few good books as well, saved me from other issues. It happens sometimes. Thanks for watching!!
Looks good, but those copper headgaskets is garbage! Buy Felpro gaskets. Good luck with your project! 😃👌
Thanks Vidar!! Yes, felpro going on this weekend, thanks for following!
Sounds sweet
Thanks Mark!! Yes, lots of anticipation on startup and those sounds made it worth the effort.
Hey Marcos how's it going? Been waiting for more duster videos. Is everything ok? Looking forward to more content.
Have the difference of the new head gaskets milled off the heads. Then you know the heads are flat And don't lose any compression.
Hey Dan! Good idea. I am picking up the heads tomorrow. I just asked for them to make it flat, I will find out how much they had to take it down. Gasket difference is about. .018, so not too major, it'll probably be close. I will probably go ahead and cc the heads just to know for sure. Thanks for following the build!!
Wow Awesome info and great video! I'm about to head into my 1st Build as well cheers to us "Just got here" guys lol 🤘
Thanks Ruben!! You rebuilding your 400? Looking forward to seeing it. Yeah, better late than never!👍
Oh yeah. Sounds good.
Thanks Jonny!!
I have never seen head gaskets like that before
Yeah, I don't recommend them. 🤣
What headers are you using? The look like Doug's d453
Hi Mason, these are the Summit ceramics. I forget the part number but it is the standard small block Mopar option. Fit has been good so far, but still have a few steering components to confirm. Thanks for watching!
@@DustorBust great videos man its going to be really sweet to see it all done
@@masonsnook1583 thanks, I really appreciate the support!! Hopefully we can get it driving this summer.
Mr Gasket makes a .028 head gasket. #1121G
What's up B Dubs! I actually had a set of these, and when I sent to put them on one of them was so stuck in the packaging that I ended up bending it taking it out. sounds stupid saying it, but it was really stuck in there. I have a new set of felpros that are going on today. Slightly bigger at 0.39, but is not going to be the end of the world. Sometimes I forget I am not in Nascar, easy to get overly focused on things. 😂. Thanks for watching bud!
@@DustorBust that’s good to know. I have a set still in the package myself.
@@brianwil89 they probably work great if you can get them out. One came out easily, the other seemed like it was glued to the plastic cover.
