Re: 79 350 overhaul

None of the current diesel oils have sufficient ZDDP in them for a flat tappet cam. The use of diesel oils is outdated thinking. You need either a specific break in oil or a break in additive.

Do you have the rear main seal installed in the block and rear main cap? And is it facing the correct direction?
