Arent the r/t's the 4.7 Ho? If so doesnt the air resonator have 4.7 HO written on it? Btw sucks about your engine tho man, why not find a used engine?

 

You can tell a H/O from the "J" in the vin#

 

j vs n vins. but billy said he will come down and torque the headbolts an extra 15ftlbs and see if it helps. but for it to drain 90% of the oil in 2 miles is just stupid.

whhat actually pisses me off most is that today i finally found another DF member in town, he just bought a ram ss/t. and now me w/o a truck cant race or cruize around. i told him i would take him for the Dakotas last ride, 1qt of oil in the motor and run it till it seizes.

 

I'm sure. The gasket actually has holes for the oil jets that align it so it can't go in wrong. Both sides of the gasket were sprayed with Mopar Headgasket sealant. All 14 head bolts were bolted to spec. On initial startup and warm up there wasn't any leaking.

We knew the possibility exist that either the mounting surface of the block or head could be warped. The 1st thing I told Winston that concerned me was there wasn't a defect in the OEM headgasket. When mine went I could find the exact point of failure on it.

 

holy crap guys, i got underneat the truck right now and its absoloutly coverd in oil, frame, cross members, tranny pan, layer of oil on it. im uploading a video right now.

but i found that the oil filler tube wasnt bolted down all the way, that would explain why i was able to see oil dripping out instantly while filling.

Thats why i asked my original question i wasnt questioning billys or anyones abilities, just always good to double check ya know

 

I see you are preventing some rust lol

 

well i filled it back up with oil and ive got oil pressure. there is so much oil in the engine bay it was smoking so bad that cars behind me gave me like 100yards of room. going to the car wash tomorrow.

 

I have never heard of warping a block, unless its a 6 second car....Heads yes.. Honestly I dont think you need to replace the entire block.
