Happy 427 day
The heck with all those other holidays, This is our day April 27th... 4/27 and an extra special for those that are bored 20 over.
|
Thanks Scott. I'm bored 43 days over.
AZ Bob |
Is that the same as happy FE day?
|
Same as BA Day.
Boat Anchor..... |
And happy 4/28 today and 4/29 tomorrow and happy 4/30 after that (MEL).
|
But, a 427 is not a "Real" 427, it's a 426.
And, a 428 is not a "Real" 428, it's a 427. So, should we be really referring to them as 426 Cobra's ? |
some of you must have cabin fever to think it out like that. And FE day is a rainy day. Sky leaks...FEs leak
|
Happy FE-427, 428, 429 days ;) I don't know where you boys get that FE's leak ??? Now granted, I don't have a lot of miles on my Side-Oiler (yet), And yes, Karl it has Oil in it :) Mike's 427S/O had a little valve cover leak this year, but easily fixed. Now Tim's 428 consumes a quart every 200 miles, but doesn't LEAK, or burn (No Smoke) it and yes we don't know where it going (Rings?) ??? Cheers TommyRot.

Tommy, i have the same issue with mine. What kind of oil pressure is he running?
|
YOur oil consumption is obviously a plot by the petro industry to jack sales.:)
Or Your dip sticks shrink over time. |
Yikes! Let’s not be talking about guys dipsticks now.

Sometimes a little leak is not worth the trouble to fix.... wait until your doing something more major.
I had a ‘66 corvette 427ci many years ago that marked its territory like a FE. Lol. :JEKYLHYDE after engine rebuilt....no leak |
@ Danny, I spoke with Tim, oil pressure is good (85-95 cold-- 65-75 hot) He did just install a new type "pressurized PCV Valve" system that (Bruce Synder) installed on his new 347 build, Bruce said it cured his "oil mist" problem (PHX MIike I have Bruce's # if want to talk to him). Danr, If you want to see Tim's car it's is still @ The Stables" in PHX. just down the block from Ron's shop, you could look at his PCV system. If you need Tim's # just Email me, and you could talk to him yourself. Cheers Boys, TommyRot.
|
Thx - I snugged up the timing cover lower bolts - will see if that does the trick. If not I think I may drop the pan and reseal it next time I change the oil....I am sure it’s something simple. Engine uses no oil at all...
|
You're welcome Mike, if you want to look at Tim's car (428FE) with that system on it, I'm sure it's not a problem (Since it's @ The Stables there in PHX. at least till the end of May), or if you want Tim's # just ask, Karl (I think) has Tim's # too. Cheers TommyRot. ;)
