What are the yellow highlighted things?  As I will replace front cover gasket, oil pan gasket and tear main seal along with rear main bearing cap fix, is there going to be something else needing attention with these yellow highlighted items?!i

THise rubber tits are the oil pan gasket as pictured below. For the rear main seal, DO NOT USED Best Gasket brand as it is a known defective seal The company knows about it and continues to sell them.  

Get a good rear main seal from Caddy Daddy.  Use a seal saver on the harmonic balancer to repair the lip in the sealing surface. 

Thank you! Learned something new about the front and rear gaskets on the oil pan!

Russ, not familiar with a seal saver for the harmonic balancer?

Hi Dave,

     I haven't had to use one, but if there is a groove in the harmonic balancer (the part that fits onto the crankshaft), the thin seal saver can allow a smooth rotation near the front seal.  Russ is 100% right.  It might tap on easier if H. Balancer is frozen and sleeve is heated in oven.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?

My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.

Many thanks,

-Samu

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
