Next issue: We're at the point of removing the crankshaft for surfacing. Problem is the service manual merely says remove the camshaft sprocket and timing chain. unless we're missing something, the crankshaft sprocket must also come off, sliding both off at the same time, as the chain is too stiff to remove one sprocket at a time. It is not apparent how to remove the crank sprocket; it almost appears cast with the crank.Can anyone enlighten us on getting the crank out? TIA, gary

We've decided to,and have accomplished removing the engine and transmission on my `53 Pat. Next question, in looking to drain the coolant from the head and jackets before turning the engine upside down, I've found one plug off to the side and underneath the 4th expansion plug. Is there any other plug that we have missed, to finish draining the coolant?

this sounds like a question for super-HH56, but are there any specs out there for the 327 oil pump, such as end play or other. We've got the engine and trans out of the car and are going to be looking for the source of the knock. one disturbing thing we've found is the oil is damn near water thin, i believe i read that 20-W oil was originally spec'd for the car but this oil was not pretty..

I'm in the industry so I have the phone number to DuPonts Color Library. I've added the current matches to the `53 colors, with the exception of a couple (so far). For any of you with a Dupont color, I'd be happy to call them and get a reference to current material. PM me..Thanks, Gary
