Owen, where can I get the tool for the reserve clearance?? And, how can i tell degree of intake to make sure it is 30 degrees?? What am I measuring from the block deck? Thanks, Brian.

Ok, I'm at a point where I'm down to the valves. #6 exhaust valve was stuck, and finally came loose. I have the head, valves covers, and pan off. I thought I might as well do the valves while I'm at this point. My question to you all is what is the seat or valve angle?? And, are they different between intake and exhaust?? Also, any pointers or tricks for doing it in chassis, or things I should know? Thanks, Brian.

Found about 3/4 of an inch in the bottom. Took the floating screen off today and have it soaking. Is there any way of taking the screen apart?? While waiting for my gasket kit, I thought I might as well clean the valve compartment. Is there any good way of doing it?? Thought about diesel fuel, but not sure I can get it all back out behind lifter casting. Brian.

oil pan removal

Good day all. Since joining the Packard info site last evening, the gentlemen who suggested I should remove oil pan to check out the pump and screen. Is there any way of removing oil pan with engine still in car?? I have a '54 Patty. It seems to me that it is possible to get to all the bolts, but doesn't look like there is any clearance to remove once pan is free. I hope I don't wear out my welcome, but this sight sure is a wealth of information. Also, I have posted on the other forum, for sale, wanted, or trade, looking for a 4 barrel intake for my car. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Brian.

Hello all!! Just bought a 1954 Patrician. Can someone tell me how to adjust the valves. I set them on small engines, chevys, and fords, but when I pulled the valve covers on this 359, I'm kinda dumb founded. I probably should invest in a shop manual. Thanks for your help in advance. There's just something about these Packards. Brian.
