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?

Why is there little to no oil coming up? I could never understand the reasoning for this valve adjustment method.
Do you have a template for this? Also, what were the wires on the cup holders for?
I honestly think I just baught the raider
should like it was missing bad
Love it, can you please share the template?
What happened with the raider??
Do you still have this? Selling any of the parts?
Only have the rear side glass left.
Great design!! Do you have a template you’d be willing to share? 👍🏼
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.
Oh, also have a trash can I am finishing up that installs below the cup holders.
It is now May of 2023 and still hoping you be able to provide a template and possible parts source list. Thanks!
Well that was completely incorrect. Not worth doing unless it's right.
Hi, l have a 54’ dodge, I can’t get the vent door open, to rusty 😤 how could I get it open? From under the dash, won’t brake lose.
Hi good morning I like to buy tha side pair of side glass
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.
no sense doing it while running
One of my 66 chargers that I had,had a 318 with mechanical lifters,what a big pain in the ass it was adjusting them all the time
Put slight pressure on it then hit it with the sledgehammer.
Evidently rust is about as strong as anything!
Why is that idiot standing so close to the tow strap?
is the 318 a tuff motor
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.
@@Firion13 The blocks are, for all practical purposes, the same.
I would check out my Limit Switch,Roll out switch also.And is your flame sensor actually into the pilot flame ? As it should be. I couldn't tell by looking at you video. You can boot up a wiring diagram ect. for your unit thru Google Search,it's there. (Search Lennox Furnace/Model no. G20Q3/4E-100-1 CLICK ON G-20E Wiring Diagram Free Pdf All or Most of your info is there.Good Luck.
are the magnum 318 motor tuff as this 318 poly
I would say not quite
No the Poly's bare block weighs almost 40 lbs more than the LA/ magnum blocks. Many poly blocks have been safely bored over .100
plus forged crank and rods.@@Firion13
Is the gas valve open
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.
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?
Have you sold these?
Still have the glass... Make me an offer on the glass with rubber and everything as shown in the video (just without the metal frame that I had sawzalled off the Jeep) and they're yours. Doesn't have to be much of an offer.
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
lot easier at 450-500 rpm ,engine needs to be at operating temp
what was the issue? i am having the same problem
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?
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/
article is rife with errors ,typical of hot rod rag
what is he provin?
Poly?
Oh yeah that's a 318 Poly(not the later 318 LA engine)
Would love a Charger under mine, nice metalwork mate
How's the Panel going?
Hey Derrick, love this idea. Check out my build if you get time, on my channel. I don't have rear doors for mine, so I'm looking to fabricate a single rear door one day.
No fail here mate, the end results were perfect.
