Re: Just bought a 1941 Packard 120 - Considering a frame off resto

Got the engine free! Was just stiff on one of the cylinders. Got a little looser as I cranked it back and forth. Could hear the rust come free and fluid shot out of the spark plug hole. One valve stuck when I was cranking it, but I was able to pop it back down. All seems to be working fine now. The intake has a couple hairline cracks. Fluid I poured down the spark plug holes was leaking badly from either the intake/exhaust manifold gasket.

Will still try to fire it in the next couple days! Assuming the starter even works lol.
