Post subject: | No oil while driving!! |
So today I decided to take my car on a drive around about a mile cruise. The car(dart) had been giving to me as a gift and had it running for about a year and a half . I would always drive It around the neighborhood and NEVER had problems with it. So I tout it was about time to get the plates and sticker to make it legal. So I took it on a spin and just before I was getting home (mile ) cruise. It turned off:(. Would crank battery was dead first time I ever drove it over 45 in all the time I've had it. Got it home and was very little oil in it (centimeter above point of dip stick. I crank it but it freezes:( did I do bad damage to it or just need a oil chandge and see if it cranks and turns rite up .HELP!! |

I doubt the two things (oil just touching dipstick) and the no-start issue are related. If they were, you would have very likely heard a lot of knocking, followed by a Big Bang as a rod came flying through the block. Put some oil in it, or change the oil, and let's work from there. So... Exactly what happens now? With a charged battery, can you crank the engine over? I'm a bit confused at the wording of your post. - Mac |

I've done some research and maybe my alternator is just crapping out and just need to chardge my battery and some oil maybe it shld fire rite up:/. But I'm thinking of just getting the engine rebuilt with performance parts in the engine considering that its something I was going to do some time soon. Any suggestions on performance pistons or anything inside the block to put in for street racing:). Thanks |

Going fast with a Slant Six requires planning. Some general thoughts: - figure out where you will be driving it, and how often. Do you drive it daily, or just on weekends? Do you drive it around town a lot, or on the highway? - Don't set a HP goal... Set a "I want to do this" goal. - Carefully choose the parts and tweaks that will bring your car to that goal. Matching the parts is important... Matching them to your goal is even more important. Throw on a lopey cam, big carb, and headers, and you might just find yourself with a boggy dog around town. - Read, read, read. The question: "How do I make my Slant fast" has been asked lots of times on this board. Take lots of time to see what others have done, then ask plenty of questions. - Enjoy the process. Slants are cool. - Mac |

First, I'd learn to get what you have, running well, while you do the research on rebuilding the engine. |
