Cutlass 442 m-90 what does m-90 mean?

Everything I looked up about a M90 shows that it is a supercharger, there were no superchargers on the 442 from the factory.

You just bought a 1969 442 what type of gas and oil should you put in it?

HIGH octane

10w-30 oil will work fine.

also if your engine hasn't had the new hardened valve guides put in the heads to run unleaded gas you need to add a lead additive to the gas tank when you add gas to the tank, all parts stores carry the additive.

Actually, that's kind of an old wives tale. Very seldom will you burn up the exhaust seats (not the valve guides) running an old engine on unleaded. If you run it at high RPMs or towing/lugging it a lot, then maybe. If you have the heads completely redone at some point, you could go ahead and have them installed for piece of mind. But 98% of the time they will be just fine. use sunoco ultra 93 toget the best timing advanc for max power

How do i cut off my roof on your Oldsmobile cutlass?

Wait, MY roof on YOUR Cutlass, what?

I find for this sort of work, the reciprocating saw is by far the best choice. Grinder cutoff tools also work well, but make sparks. Sparks induce fire.

The battery powered DeWalt recip saw is hard to beat. Many other brands are also similar in quality and ability. Bosch, makita, Milwaukee. Cheap "Shipwreck Tools" versions- not so much...

Has anyone ever put sawdust in an auto engine?

if you mean as a last ditch method, yes, but not in the engine. if you have a slipping transmission, and the car is on its last legs anyway, you can put sawdust in the transmission fluid to help them grab so that you can make it home or to the junkyard. I've personally seen mechanics do this to sell a car and have gotten to a lot of trouble. if you put it in the engine, there's little it will do, other than clog the oil filter.

The spark plug gap is .44 for a 2001 windstar LX. I just found out today and in the midst of finding out how to get to the back three plugs. Getting the first aid kit ready because it looks like it's gonna be a knucklebuster!

Actually the spark plug gap is .054, 0.044 is for the 3.0 which they stopped using in 98 I believe.
it all depends on what type of spark plug you'll get, it could start from .044 to .054 and another way to figure out is by asking one of the parts counter employee of any auto parts and they should be able to tell you...

1987 mercury topaz 4-cylinder 2.3L engine spark plug gap?

1987, if early edition most likely carb. Spark plug gap should be 0.044. The change was in 1989 going to 0.054 inch. If you ever have a problem that the car just stalls, and will re-start several minutes later, and happens often or once in awhile, change the module on the firewall, sort of like a silver box with 1 wire harness plugged into it. They have a tendency to short out. good luck.

What is a Oldsmobile 442 engine bored 060 over called?

Olds never had an engine that displaced 442 cubic inches ( common mistake )

442 was a model or option designation depending on year built

engines available were 330/400/350/455/ Later on 307

General rule of thumb you gain about 2 cubic inches for every .10 over.

Example 455 at .60 over would be about 467 to 468 cubic inch engine
