Just a couple of pics of the extra help I had this christmas....a few more hands are always good. Both sons home from Red Deer for the season. Had a hellofa time getting this engine out, but we did it. I was completely seized due to oil starvation. Yuck....have a new rebuilt 318 to drop back in....

I have seen lots of 318 and 360 Dodges with the oil pump drive twisted off. Usually a piece of one of the valve stem seals gets sucked into the pump and locks it up. Did this happen to your truck?

Hi Paul,
I would like to say yes to your question but.....the ol' Dodge had a noisy rod for a long time. I let someone borrow the truck for a few days and it stopped on him in Detroit. I suppose the rod finally let go and the bearing clearly spun...once that happened it appears two others let go....ouch. I could not turn the engine to remove it free from the torque converter so I pulled it out as a unit. Once I opened up the bottom end and removed all the main bearing caps and con rod caps it took a 10 lb sledge to move the crank...tomorrow I will post a couple of pics of the con rods...pretty neat actually, regardless of the damage. cheers Mike |

Well here is what she looks like before I get my finger prints all over it while getting it stuffed back into my Dodge...gonna drop the trany and attach to the engine and then drop in. I had such a hard time undoing the bell housing bolts that it will be much easier to drop the whole thing in at once....or at least that is the plan.
