What did you do to your Hellcat today?

[TorRedHellgato]

Washed it, filled it up with Sunoco 94, and detailed it before tucking her away behind the covers and gate

 

[Old Mopar Guy]

They have 94 in NYC?

Nice!! THANKS for posting. I’m waiting on an analysis. I just sent in recently myself and waiting on the results. I assume the 800 mile oil change was your break in oil on rebuilt engine? Or was that 4000 miles on the engine total with 800 on the oil?

History by mileage on engine…
0 miles - Replacement engine
484 miles - Change out break-in oil
3400 miles - Oil Change
4200 miles - Oil Change -FIRST ANALYSIS
8600 miles - Oil Change -SECOND ANALYSIS

Yep, I took the sledgehammer and they still were too close for comfort. I got

Narrow body

some 1” longer wheel studs and custom gun centric 18mm spacers and put the Phillips performance flares on

I wouldnt think the challengers and chargers would be much different but they could be. I have the same wheels and mine just took a little hammering. There is a write up in the wheels section I did on mine

Yeah, it’s that bottom lip where it turns to an L in the fender well that sticks out. I got it to clear but that was with stock camber, if I ever get arms on the back I don’t think they’d clear. Just some piece of mind

I did the arms first then this. I would have to look where everything sits on the ground but being close to the middle it may not matter. If the tire is higher then after the camber adjustment there would be even more room

We discussed what you did but elected to massage the inner fender well enough to clear the tire.

I got it to clear with sledge hammer but with the tire aired down I wanted extra assurance

Plus I had wheel weights on the inside of the 1 wheel and even with shorter rear sway bar end link it hit the one weight, so I moved it in anyway but now don’t have to worry about it. Have everything I need to fit any tire/wheel combo in the rear now

Make sure you zip tie all of your wires so they don't hit.

I double checked them and surprisingly they looked well secured and out of the way, I’ll have to pull the wheels and zip tie everything garage is still a mess from getting ready last Sunday lol

I am always in NJ. That Sunoco was in Secaucus. Its basically right through the Lincoln Tunnel.

 

[Old Mopar Guy]

@TorRedHellgato good for you, haven’t seen 94 on LI for years. Car looks great btw.

Thanks! Go on Sunoco's website, then type in your zip code and you can see if the local Sunoco's have it.

WHY are we looking at a dropped oil pan and the part of the engine that you're not really supposed to see? (Along with the extended digit on your finger)

Sorry I clicked that pic by mistake lol I had to change my oil pan gasket (was leaking) did it around the same time did wheel hub bearings. Want me to delete it? Not trying to break any rules here

 

[Unholy707]

Taking the oil pan, windage trey and oil pickup off with engine in the car is not a fun time and it’s even worse going back in. Had to undo engine mounts and jack up engine to clear k member and get trey pan and bolt pickup back on before Mopar rtv sets up on 4 corners which is way too fast. Thankfully leak is fixed, I think it was because of pressuring crankcase (I now have a breather) and I snapped a bolt in the back for the rear main seal when I changed that when had the trans out (bolt has since been extracted and all new arp bolts and washers used for oil pan)

Were those pics in the air or on the ground? You gain more once the car is sitting on the ground. Mine barely clears in the air
