Thank you carla
*I will look & see tonight if their is water in the oil
*I Don't know if their is a main bearing seal
*I will look & see if their is evidance of water
comming from the back of the head.
*I don't know to take up the play in the crank
*Their is a 1/4" hole at the bottom of the bell
housing with a cotter pin that has been opened
through it. A little of the oil has dripped
from their but the most of the oil/water has
dripped from the nuts/studs that are on both
sides of the rounded cup like thing that is
under the tranny.
This was my 1st run in it. My Grandfather would take it every quarter/year to his model A meetings. He was planning on taking it for a 150mi ea. way trip before he passed away last month. After I parked the truck I took off the radiator cap to check the level, water was still circulating after I turned off the engine. It was not boiling, But was about 2" lower then full from when I started out. The next morning On the garage floor the oil and water was mixed approx. 80%water & 20%oil the oil was in a paisley patern. I drained the radiator from the engine end of the lower tube into a bucket and teir was'nt any oil mix in the water.
This is all I know for now and will fill you in with what I find tonight.
Thank for the interest.
Jeff
