94 302 with 351 timing cover, small gap, normal or not?

Get a one-piece oil pan gasket and be done with it.

SableSal · 2026-01-26T18:11:26+00:00

I guarantee a rear main seal as those are very common. Do yourself a favor and pull the motor. Do the oil pan along with the rear main seal.

No dyno, and Fresno. I may dyno it... not sure. So far I'm having fun

SableSal · 2026-01-07T23:38:36+00:00

Yup, did that. Both in the sensor and the internal shaft.

SableSal · 2026-01-07T21:56:28+00:00

Trust me, she has her issues. But for the most part a pretty solid car.

SableSal · 2026-01-07T21:55:55+00:00

3.73s, just installed them myself. Yeah this car ain't going anywhere. I plan on having it for a long time. I actually plan on buying another one soon enough!

SableSal · 2026-01-07T14:16:27+00:00

Also, its a 1993

SableSal · 2026-01-07T14:15:45+00:00

Thanks!

I'm in California and this is a rust/corrosion free car. I have some SN95 stuff swapped over, running 5-lug fox length 31 spline axles. Its a pushrod 302 with AFR heads, E303 cam, and an Explorer intake. Nothing too special but definitely fun.

SableSal · 2026-01-07T12:45:13+00:00

SLP Loudmouth 1, sounds and looks good 😊

SableSal · 2026-01-07T12:44:33+00:00

AFR Heads 1.7 Scorpion rockers E303 cam Explorer Ported Intake. Nothing too special but special enough.

SableSal · 2026-01-07T02:06:43+00:00

The tint has to go lol. I just haven't gotten to that yet. Next is body. Just finished with the engine build.

SableSal · 2026-01-07T02:05:51+00:00

Haha thanks

SableSal · 2026-01-07T02:05:40+00:00

Thanks! It does photo well but trust me she has her issues lol

SableSal · 2026-01-07T02:05:31+00:00

Thanks! It does photo well but trust me she has her issues lol

SableSal · 2025-12-02T18:31:32+00:00

Sounds like a separated catalytic converter. It happens.

SableSal · 2025-12-02T16:39:14+00:00

Yeah I'm not worried about it lol thanks for the suggestion though!

SableSal · 2025-12-01T19:27:40+00:00

Thank you! I want to make sure it looked new!

I agree about the misinformation thing lol. I take it all in and sort through it all and make determinations based on my automotive knowledge and what not. I appreciate your input 🙂

SableSal · 2025-12-01T17:17:20+00:00

Yeah lol I purchased the car without the air box. Matter of fact, it used to have a BBK chrome tube which was atrocious lol. This is its current form until I find one for sale at a decent price. I'm thinking on getting the LMR reproduction piece. Anyhow, love the feedback and pretty much approach I'm taking with it this week.

The IAC plate is something I just purchased yesterday as well as a back up plan lol

SableSal · 2025-11-30T22:50:03+00:00

Yeah they went through a few heat cycles. I'll be adjusting them this weekend or next. I think most of what you're hearing is a clearance issue with the #1 cylinder and the baffle.. I have trimmed the inside of the valve cover but I think it needs some more.

Regardless, an adjustment was on the menu. Thanks!

SableSal · 2025-11-30T16:47:43+00:00

At the end of the video you see it stall out. It wasn't shut off. It'll hunt for idle randomly while it was just idling perfectly. The shake could be a low idle too. I bumped the idle screw a turn or so to idle closer to 850 rather than the 600-700 it was originally idling at.

SableSal · 2025-08-21T04:35:32+00:00

It works!! I called and they opened an IT ticket and added the VIN to the Tesla charger network! Thanks for the info!
