Hi Folks,

Still in search of a good solid center horn ring for the C300.   I think 
300B should have the same one - but it has to be for a car with power 
steering as it says so right in the center.   If anyone could get me 
interchange and a Mopar # that might help also.

Thanks in advance for any help,    Sean.

Subject: Turn the crank...or not?

Hi all

The 392 for my 300C has been assembled for a number of months now and
realistically the rest of the car will not be ready for sometime yet. I
had the help of a very experienced engine machinist/builder specializing
in early hemis to supervise the final assembly. I asked him about turning
the motor over by hand at regular intervals since it would be sitting for
sometime. I had always been under the impression that this was the thing
to do, to avoid weakening valve springs etc etc. He said, NO, not
necessary, all you will end up doing is wiping all the lubrication paste
off the camshaft. He is very particular on his initial start up
lubrication inparticular the camshaft. All load is off the valvetrain ie
the pushrods/tappets are not tightened down,  the motor is in dry storage
and covered, with about 2-3 litres of running in oil in the sump. 

Didn't really think much about it, until recently, when a number of
visitors to the garage asked if I was turning it over on a regular basis.
Should I or shouldn't I? What's the theory behind turning it over, take
pressure off the valve springs? shift the pistons/rings in the bore to
prevent broken rings on start up? 

Thanks for any help on this, 
Owen
