From the annuls of our local Packard mechanic, recently a Packard came in for waterpump service - owner did not feel a block flushing was necessary, just replace the pump....
Fortunately, our Certified Packard Master Mechanic is well experienced with Packard engines...

David, thanks for sharing this as a lesson for us all. I hope the engine and radiator got a good back flushing too.

So what is it? Maybe a gasket, paint, tar, something wrong with the tube?

@ Howard - It's half filled with junk (rust scale, dirt, etc). My tube was the same.

Yuck! I just had lunch, too. The tube looks to be in condition, though, if that's any consolation.
