Re: Lacquer Paint fix?

Re: Nice forty Ford
I've attached a photo of a properly restored heavy duty filter.
This type was described as to be used in extreme dusty conditions. I doubt many found their way on to a car. Still, they were...

Re: Nice forty Ford
No one can tell us with certainty what happened back in the various assembly plants.
That being said, it's possible the covers did get painted body color at some plant, at some moment in time....

Re: Nice forty Ford
That's the heavy-duty air cleaner. It was an accessory, factory authorized, concourse correct.

Re: Oil leak
Road draft tube?
Oh, by the way, be certain the breather at the front of the pan is "open". The correct pan gasket goes around this area.

Re: Oil leak
I agree that the pan should come off sooner rather than later. This bad of a leak and the clutch will soon become contaminated and need replacing as well.

Re: Oil leak
It'll be interesting to find out the cause. Probably not so much fun to repair. My money remains on that pesky gasket I'd mentioned in a previous post.
High volume pump? I suppose that could be...

Re: Oil leak
Am I looking at this incorrectly? It appears to me the oil is coming out of the hole in the pan where the cotter pin should be. Yes?

"bell housing" and the oil pan proper has been installed incorrectly.

Re: Timing gear sheared 12 teeth
The repop fiber gears are prone to rapid failure. A very old NORS gear is fine. A New one? No way.
You are lucking you didn't trash the engine.
