A quick tell-all for what I did to get this '89 running and driving again. She isn't perfect, but she's come a long way. So many new parts! And yet, so many pieces left to be addressed.

1989 Raider 3.0 V6 (Mitsubishi 6G72) - crank / no-start (1of 2) Is it possible that this would be caused by me soaking the new lifters in oil but not bleeding the air out?

      I can trace out a template. :) It took a lot of time and fiddling to get the fitment just right. So, I would just urge you to take your time with a DA sander to get things tuned in before you apply your finish. I'll trace it out, but I can't promise when, exactly. Hopefully when I get back home in a couple weeks.

    I've done the "Hot and Running" valve lash procedure on a Slant Six and never had that much difficulty. Of course, the "Slanty" won't spill much if any oil in the direction of the exhaust manifold when the valve cover is off; the best thing is to do the valve adjustment just prior to doing an oil change anyway, as you'll lose about half a quart unless you're quick. Given that on the "Poly" A block (most of the 'survivors' are 318s, but Canadian engines were 313s, IDK why, though in '67 some "leftover" 318s were installed in Chrysler Canada vehicles) the engine oil would run on the exhaust manifolds, greater care to guard against fire must be employed (but keeping an extinguisher handy should be typical shop practice ANYWAY), I'd suggest putting an old towel on top of the exhaust manifold to catch splashing oil. IF you're that skittish about the "hot and running" procedure, if you get the engine sufficiently warmed up and can worked fairly fast, the pushrods and rocker arms won't cool off enough to alter the clearances that much. If you can get a breaker bar and socket on the crank pulley, and yank the coil wire (to prevent accidental starting), just mark the distributor with the marking in the firing positions for each cylinder, and make note of the firing order (usually stamped conspicuously on the manifold). Staring with #1 at TDC, adjust that cylinder's valves, then crank the engine to the next firing position, do that cylinder, then move on. The procedure should take but a few minutes as long as you can readily and precisely crank the engine. Of course, often the valve adjustment comes at about the same interval as yanking the plugs and cleaning and/or replacing, so manual turning of the engine ought to be easier. In some cases, you can even move the crank pulley or the fan belts by hand (DON'T do that on the water pump!) when the plugs are out. BTW, the 273 "LA" engine, introduced in mid-'64 for the Dart, Valiant, and the "A"-body Barracuda, also had solid tappets (from '64 to '67), and AFAIK did for both the stock 2-barrel and the relatively few "performance" 4-barrel units.

      What do you mean by tough? This is a 318 poly... Not to be confused with the far more mass produced LA 318. This was essentially the father of the LA small blocks. It has semi Hemi polyspherical combustion chamber heads. The LA had a more traditional wedge or open chamber heads.

    How did you widen them though? Did you cut them out and add a sliver of fresh steel on the inside and then weld it back to the fender.

    • @derricklaukaitis
      @derricklaukaitis 5 років тому

      I wish I could add pictures here to show better what I did. I cut the original fender flares off entirely. Then, I cut apart a set of rear fenders from a 1950 ('48 - '52) Dodge pickup and welded those donor fenders to my front fenders. I still have some work to do on them, but they are a good start to what I want to end up with. Does that answer your question or did I not understand the question?

    Ran across the factory spec sheet for 318's and 273's in 1966. On a hot engine, Intake was supposed to be 0.013" and Exhaust was supposed to be 0.021". image.ibb.co/jmufp7/1966_Dodge_Poly318_Valve_Cl_Hot.jpg

      Unfortunately, my brother-in-law has yet to get it running right. In fact, it stopped running entirely. It's been an expensive lawn ornament for over a year now. I think he said his next step is to try a new ECU. It's been three months since you commented... Have you been able to fix yours?

    • @derricklaukaitis
      @derricklaukaitis 5 років тому

      We never did figure out what was going on with this truck. In fact, the truck stopped running entirely one day and my brother-in-law had it towed to his dad's place. There it sat, and sat, and sat some more while he tried one thing after another to get it to run again. New computer, new sensors, new this, new that, changing fuel filters, purging fuel, etc. Nothing worked. Everything was pointing him to injectors. He even had it towed to the dealership for a diagnosis. They couldn't even figure it out. Well, let me clarify. They were going to "try" the same things he had already tried. He had it towed back to the house and let it sit some more. Eventually, he just gave up. But the truck did disappear one day. He sold the truck "as is" and bought a brand new AWD Challenger. I have never been so happy to see a vehicle leave the driveway! We keep expecting to see his old truck driving around somewhere... But never have.

    "Poly" is short for polyspherical. It's what Dodge used to describe the combustion chamber shape on these engines. The Poly came out in 1955 and ran until they came out with the LA style in 1967. There are several different sizes and variations. Check this out: www.hotrod.com/articles/mopp-0109-chryslers-poly-head-engine/
