How can an engine with such lowsy compression readings and expected valve problems be so silent and smooth. I guess the nine mains and Packard high standards have to do with it.


My 32 engine ran fine. The reason for my rebuild was it was smoking and using 3 quarts of oil in a 50 mile trip. It was getting too expensive to run with the oil consumption plus the people behind me were having to use their windshield wipers all of the time.

For all the things wrong with the engine if it hadn't started to smoke and use oil, I would nver had done a rebuild.
