Eddie, over on RCC there's a discussion on 440Source heads. They don't seem overly enamoreed of them except as a bare head to be reworked. Just an FYI http://ramchargercentral.com/index.php/ ... 968.0.html

Thanks Drew, I appreciate that! This is a Milodon assembly Part#22040 it fits only the threaded boss thats welded to the side of the Milodon Pan. It has a 5/8-18 N.P.T. Thread so a sealant or tape must be used to ensure a leak-proof seal. I use paste not tape. It will become more 'clear' after I get it calibrated then mounted. I cant use a factory tube type dipstick with this pan Drew. It is very shallow at the block pickup tube junction. And the Milodon oilpan doesnt have a 'guide' in the pan that the factory pan does to help guide the long indicator into the sump.. Today we had one of the instructors drag race cars on the chassis dyno. It's 540 BBC with Brodix heads,(I think) and roller cam, with 16:1 compression. it runs on Methanol, it made my eyes water pretty bad, but cleared my sinus congestion! This thing rattles your insides! It runs 5.13's in the 1/8 but I bet it sucks around the curves,LOL. We dont have any 1/4 miles tracks around these here parts.drewcrane wrote:is that a lopkar sure break dip stick, i had one and from engine vibration the housing broke right off at the block,i went back to a stock chrome unit,its accurate ,and lasts longer,call me ed if you need more info

Drew,Did you have headers on it at the time? That's a 'notorious' area of leakage on B/RB plants. The pickup tube is simply pressed in with a 'crowsfoot' socket and pressed in. The problem is when you put a set of tube headers on, and it vibrates and rubs agin the tube causing leakage and breakage.(The same thing happens when my 'tube' is acted upon the same way) Post a pic, Thanks for the input!!drewcrane wrote:sweet ed ,those heads are gonna be nice
,also ill take a pic of what happened to my dipstick (the one in my car) ,and show you what im talking about,what you have will be fine i just wanted you to know what happened to mine
