Re: Head Gasket Questions

Thanks guys, this is all very helpful information for a newbie. I think the gasket is shot, based on the leakage level, and while a few accesories need to come off under the hood, this does look pretty easy. Packard did not even stick the distributor through the head like it was on my Model A! (But I DO expect the head to be just a bit heavier, and have bribed a friend to help on that already.) Will post an update on this, but again thank you all very much.

Interesting that the Packard manual does not show the tightening sequence but a general repair book from the era does! That will be a big help.

Best, Steve
