FE Technical Forum / Re: Oil Accumulator
« on: September 06, 2018, 09:13:27 AM »
Accusump directions require #10, get the electric valve, hooked to a switch, i mounted  3 qt vertically between the shock tower and radiator support, with remote filters next to towers, close to originally oil adapter, 67 Fairlane. Directions say any position. Get the mounting clamps if possible, nice stuff.
Watched it oil the rockers before a cold startup. Also will hold pressure over the off season, extended use periods.
Use braided line kit to gauge, more accuate/safer/sometimes required, than plastic/copper.
Oil pressure always steady, accell/decell, HVP, many runs over several years.
Same as Cammerfe suggested.
We got to treat theses FE well !

FE Technical Forum / Re: Starter problems

Red, sorry about the situation, it gets frustrating.
I had a RM starter in 2007 when i built my engine. It worked/sounded o.k. for a few races.  Ran the eng for warmup, then on class call, gear had come off, got a new Napa , started o.k., but gear had bent flexplate, hitting block. Expensive weekend !
No nose support at that time, and no rotating locking clamps, i got my money back, as i would not reinstall a starter with no nose support.
Don,t use RM without those two updates !
NAPA still in use.
67 Fairlane FE with 2" Hookers.
Try a stock starter before you damage something, then go from there with RM.

If i did it, you guys with all your skills/abilities/knowledge can also.
At first, I bitched and moaned also, put finally gave it some thought/trail error figured it out. Read my solution above. I can post pictures is needed.
I,ve seen the pans installed , that seems like a nice deal, drop a few bolts, drops down. Specs are fairly liberal. Make a pattern, build or have it build.
Many tracks/organizations are requiring them as it cuts cleanup time/costs/crashes.
For us, to speculate a eng won,t fail seems like a risky approach, and what off the quality off the eng/car in the other lane ?
FE in a unit body shock tower car, always a challenge, just one more, so far we have done a good job!
Good discussion, Thanks, Bob M

1. Make/fab the welded in crossmember under the pan removable.
2. DRE makes a Kevlar custom for  $600, won,t burn on headers.
3. I got a free used burned hole  $125 universal Jegs, wife repaired/sewed hole, its nylon, can not touch pipes.
3. Its shaped like a bread pan, fexible like  t-shirt, pain to handle, fit  it under the motor mounts on the side, holds it away from pipes, mostly.
4. Four straps , water pump bolts front, header bolts rear
5. Install removable crossmember and push up against pan.
6.  Fab/bend  1 " flat stock to follow contour off pan in back, fasten to rear pan bolts to hold it away from pipes and steering cross link.
8. Wrapped the two pipes in the area that cross under the pan in rear, get the good stuff.
9. Ran last season, looks like a black pan. So far so good.
10. 67 Fairlane, 2 ' Hookers, C6, stock suspension, newer Milodon pan thats notched more around cross member

I have a Canton 3 QT, they say # 10 . Mines mounted up front on the left apron with remote filters, so its a short run to the block. Its nice to be able to prime the Eng after sitting for weeks/months with the flip off a switch, in addition to preventing  starvation on Accel/decel .  Bob

Kind off confusing with the buyout, original Brad Penn site not much info, this should help, tech data with specs, click away. I just recently used the 30W break in and now the 15W40 semi.
