Valve Bay Surprise

Posted by Jim L. in OR On 2015/5/23 19:07:14

Last evening I opened up the valve chamber on my '51 Patrician and got a rather pleasant surprise. But I thought I'd better show some pictures of the area in case someone can spot something I missed.

In 1994 I bought a '79 Lincoln Continental which had oil pressure problems. When I removed the valve covers from that it looked like the valve covers had been filled with "black cottage cheese". So almost anything I could find behind the valve covers of the Packard would feel like good news.

I've also posted some before and after pictures of the engine on my blog "The 1951 Patrician of Jim L in OR"

So PLEASE if you see anything that needs attention, let me know!
