I was just getting ready to update. We put air pressure to 70 PSI with head and pump on ,then magnafluxed & dye penetrated every thing. Filled engine with coolant and left at 70 PSI then built a tin cover around it and the top. Heated it with a Master heater and ducted the heat under the block for 1 hr temps got to !60 to 200 F and " still no leaks ". Dave thinks the sealer worked I'm not as optimistic .He is going try and polish the crank and have me put it back together "new gaskets and bearings" then run it on my test stand longer. " Any thoughts from you Packard Guys"
