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

Re: Nice forty Ford

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
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?
