folding wing 5 speed

mine came with a folding wing and squirters were in the block. I have bad photos lying around somewhere. Vin is 1134, a little younger than heinrichs or his ex's. I was trying to figure it out once and thought 1400 was as good a guess as any based on Heinrichs cars. FWIW

Paul,

Mine may be older but I don't know the serial number off the top of my head. What's your VIN? I have #0142, 8/86 build date. I'll try and check the block when I get home.

heinrich

Agreed with Folding Wing above.

heinrich

Which brings us to a veeeeery interesting question........

What about '86.5 blocks ....

heinrich

Sterling I believe they do, and I believe they are susceptible even to massive oil ingestion as a result, but ALL through the crank case ventilation system.

Ispeed

mine is 1491 and has the folding wing. I will have to check build date and look for serial #s.

heinrich

Well yes there is that ..... there is some overlap of wing/no-wing at 1400 or so. My 5-speed 1401 had no wing and 1385 did. Maybe wingness is not a good gauge then for squirterage. We do know that there were squirters up to 1401. Or we think we know that

heinrich

Yes, true Sterling, and they also happen to be the natively high-horsepower beasts.

heinrich

SHANE:
I'll bet Helmut has squirters.

Ispeed

Build date 02/'87 and block # M28/41 81H00836

Loaded

my srt8 6.1 hemi has them I havent seen any oil usage with it.

heinrich

Fausto, there is a massive difference in the two engines and how they interact with oil.

Sterling,
My '87 has squirters and oil comsumption is very low. I've got about 3500 miles on this oil change (Redline 20W 50), and it's less than a quart low. Most of that leaked out.

heinrich

Louie do you have the stock breather system?

Louie928

Stock except for the oil filler cap vent. That is fed through the smog pump air filter at the center of the fan shroud. The smog pump disappeared. I think someone stole it.
