Drum turning machines are crude compared to an engine lathe. Often the mechanic will assume that the drum is running true after he mounts it.That isnt always the case. Im a retired master machinist, and I always turned my own on a regular engine lathe. They should be checked with a dial indicator before cutting. If the new machined surface is eccentric relative to the bearing race, it would cause the condition that you describe.

The fan shroud really did the trick! If your packard is running hot, ashroud on the upper part of the radiator really helps.Thanks all for all your suggestions.

My 1949 custom with a 288 is running hot. Ive replaced the water distribution tube, installed a high pressure water pump from Kanter, installed a six blade fan, and flushed the radiator. Any other ideas?

Now that ive got the tube out, I dont really see the need for it.As with modern engines, the coolant can just flow through the casting. I can see that the copper would serve as a heat sink, but I just dont see it making that much difference. If someone more knowledgeable about Packards could educate me, I would really appreciate it.
