What weight oil do I use for the transmission and overdrive unit for 288 cu in engine?

Deli,
I appreciate your offer to assist me. It is not too late for my engine color. I I will check that out.
I didn’t see your phone number. Let’s talk
Thanks, Mike

I check compression and discovered the compression is not good. As low as 35 on 1 cylinder and high of 85 with others in between.
Regarding timing. Wen setting no 1 I think I am correct. My timing marks are about 2 inches away though, I then rotate until my 6 degree mark lines up with pointer. Is that the correct way to do.
I will try again, but I am ready to pull the engine .

I am seriously interested in buying your Packard engine
Please contact me
Thank you
Mike

Thanks for the good information. It seems odd I can turn it over but the starter cannot
The battery 6 volt is being checked now. It is only showing about 250 CCA fully charged should be close to 900. Maybe a dead cell, although it was new 2 years ago. What battery is common to use for my engine ? 288 cu in. My cables are 1/0 .
If the battery is fully charged and the starter is good and the engine can be turned by hand it has got to be an internal problem??
What can I see from removing the pan
I just keep hoping not to pull the engine, i guess,
Thanks all,
Mike

The starter was rebuilt by a reliable company here is Seattle. They did a complete check out again and a bench test with a load. It was found to be working fine.
I out it back in and tried again. Bothe new 6 volt battery and then 12 v. Plugs out. Both times only only clicks.
I can turn the flywheel ring gear with a pry bar.
When I turn with pry I can move about 2-3 teeth at a time. . However turn to the right ( IEE from back) no noise, turn to the left a definite click,click,click sound.but not from the starter, but more from the main bearing area.

I have had problems getting the engine to turn over. Last fall it got water into #7,8 cylinder exactly how not sure. The engine was turning over with starter motor but eventually stopped completely, I removed head and had water in the cylinder. Since then i cleaned out cylinder 7, 8
Polished up , honed and cleaned as best I couldI could turn engine with prying the ring gear I checked all cylinders , polished and honed. It would turn the engine quite easily with the pry. I re assembled with new head gasket. Using remote starter and 6 volt battery in only turned over 4-5 rotations. I used 12 volt battery it spun engine maybe 10 seconds and seized up and the starter only clicked. Now nothing moves. I am lost as to why the 12v would not crank it

Yes, I do see now that the striker should be adjusted after the hinges are set, thanks for your tip.,
Mike

I think you are right. As I try to fit. It is obvious the wood will have to be worked on, thanks for your input.

I am having trouble installing the doors. I have hung the doors and trying to level up and fit properly at the center panel body strip. The wood window trims seem to bottom out at the roof gutters . Is it possible that the wood window trim is installed after the doors are hung. That way, there is possible to do some wood filing and fitting? Also is it correct to set the doors and fit at the hinges and then install the door striker plates.
The station sedan doors are only different from sedan doors where the wood door panels are installed.
