rebuilt engine in 1968 Barracuda

Asked by Guru982SLX May 26, 2022 at 06:11 PM about the 1968 Plymouth Barracuda

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

just had my 340 formula S Plymouth Barracuda engine rebuilt and the rebuilder
says the timing can't be set properly because it was overbored to 0.060. Can
that possibly be? Up to about 2800 rpm it acts like it has a misfire and smooths
out after that. Also, water squirts out one of the mounting holes of the
passenger side valve cover.

If you got water coming out of any where on that motor then I'd say he's blowing smoke , There's a lot of tech in matching up custom engine building , who over bored the motor ?

Sounds like they bored into the cooling jacket. But they're not going to admit they messed up! Hope that helps! Jim
