hi there don't know if any one can shed some light on this,
I bought this car in bits engine etc, I have had crank reground new big ends and main bearings new valves and valve guides etc.
the problem that I have is no6 valves seizing and damaged the valves and guides, it seems to fine on the other cylinders, it seems to have a lack of oil getting to no6 valves <I have good oil pressure>.the con rods have a hole to lubricate the upper cylinder and piston, this hole I have put the same side as the valves, the cylinder has a hole which is not blocked, Im not sure but I think the valves are lubricated via the spray from the cylinder or the throw from the camshaft, the pistons have a slot on one side which I also put the same side as the valves.
I had a look on here to see if there was and engine assembly manual to check this out and could not find anything,
I took the car out for its first run and done 30 miles engine ran fine until I was sitting at lights and the car made a large tapping noise then cleared I thought it may have a tight valve guide but on inspection I found metal filings around the valve, I grabbed hole of the valve and it has a lot of movement,
I am taking the head off tomorrow to have a look I have guides and spares valves but need to find the reason why if any one can shed some light on this I would appricate it
many thanks Dave
I have added some photos of the car before and after I have had the car since July 2013 last year and spent the last 9 months restoring it

I think I have sorted this out now many thanks

i have just been and had a look at another 1936 packard that is being restored 148 teeth on flywheel starter motor owen dyneto max4014,what i have found out is also the starter bendix is 9 tooth.however i have counted the teeth on the other flywheel 118 teeth which must be an earlier flywheel and 10 teeth on the bendix.
so what i need is a starter motor max4014 6 volt.if you have one of these can i have a price please dave

there is no tag on the starter motor

hi there thanks for email,what i got with the car was 3 engines in bits and 2 starter motors. the autolite starter has 9 teeth and turns the car over very slow because its a 12v starter,when i put the owen dynetto starter i it locked up,so i removed it and messured the pinion gear which is smaller,the car has a 6v system,i can get around it by making a 12v starter relay system which i dont realy want,i have 3 flywheels so maybe one of the engines was a 12v system for the uk and used a different ring gear and starter.
my father has a 1934 packard with the same engine and owen dyneto starter with 10 teeth.what i am going to do is to pull the engine out and check the teeth on the ring gear,but i dont want to do all that for nothing so i was hopeing that some new about this,have i got 2 wrong starters or 1 wrong flywheel.
i have just recieved a starter bendix 9 tooth which is also wrong as the diameter of the gear is the same as the 10 tooth,hope you can make sence of this dave

hi don't know if anyone can shed some light on this I have 1936 senior standard 8 Packard. I have 2 starter motors 1st starter owen dyneto 6v with 10 teeth, and a auto lite 12v may2017 with 9 teeth, I believe the car should have the owen dyneto starter, however it does not mesh with the ring gear,i think I may have the wrong fly wheel/ring gear.
the question I have are there different flywheels for this engine i.e 1937/8 etc and if so how many teeth should it have or part numbers.
hope you can help Dave
