Attended the Florida Packard Annual Fall meet on Sunday November 20, 2016. What a great time. Weather was cool but nice. Great turn out. Thanks to the Florida Packard Club for putting on this event. Met some great people, saw some beautiful cars, had a great lunch. Here is some of the "eye candy"

I just finished removal and reinstallation of my 1939 V12 oil pan and oil pump. Yes - You are exactly correct, you must turn the front wheels all the way to the left and then drop the left hand inner tie rod, then the pan will drop down and out with no problems.

Can you tell me where the actual meet will be located? I am considering attending but will likely want to haul my car due to the long distance of about 1300 miles and then camp someplace close in the toy hauler.

After all of the engine work it got a bath and a bit of detail this weekend, then a 25 mile ride. I'm happy to report a smooth, powerful and quite engine...... on to the list of other things sort out

Update. I know it has been a while but good things take time. Figured out the valve noise. Turns out someone had previously installed the forward most rocker shaft and silencer assembly backwards. After taking both heads off and the intake / exhaust manifold off I found the problem. Then I realized that I would have to remove the valves, springs, retainers and guides to get the unit turned around so I decided to remove all valves and guides to service all of the silencers. Anyways after 40 hours of work, 2 new valves, all new stem keeper keys 1/32 higher as in the shop manual. It runs perfect and silent. Success..... These are great engines! The root cause of the noise was that the front rocker assembly was not getting oil supply as in the pics.
