The Ford Barn

someone said if you don't ever expect anything you will never be disappointed.

after taking in all the suggestions offered I pulled the pan found the rear bearing tube flopping around. after installing a new tube, grinding a relief slot in the top threads of the tube and of course installing new pan gaskets and a drain plug I have canceled the pile of dirt I ordered to park the car nose down. the leak is fixed. ran the car with the nose jacked up and not a drop leaked where before there would have been a half pint on the floor.

I replaced the two piece timing gear with the laminated version as the old gear had slack/wobble problems. motor noise gone.

while doing this I spotted my fan pulley had a split in it and had been brazed before. i put a new fan on only to see the original crank pulley has been welded. going to order a one piece pulley, plan to pull radiator and I have an impact wrench. how is the pulley put on? will I need a puller and can it be driven back on or pressed with the crank bolt.

this is a fantastic site, hope we never run out of senior members.
