The only auto "miracle" chemical that ever worked for me is NAPA's
engine seal rejuvenator. I've fixed several cars with it that went
tens of thousands of miles afterworlds.
Stuff was very light, not viscous. Cars had hydraulic lifter, no
problems.
Engine hot, pour stuff in, drive about 10 mile
Gump is fully equipped with block heater. Though born in Germany,
she was delivered to Illinois so has the cold weather package. All I
need to do is remember to hook her up on the cold days. Thinking
about having that supercharger ala Cathey with a 1800watt blow dryer
for quicker starts

It's just that the engines are so easy to work on in these
cars when compared to later ones and/or larger engines, there

OH, you are just so cute!!
Gump has a fresh set of both the bushings at the shift and the

I have the manifold gasket set, a nicer manifold, and could use fresh

It is often easiest to pull the engine and tranny together,
so with the set out I could suggest that tranny shifter bushings
are easily reachable then. :-)

IIRC, the front seal can be done with the engine still in
the car. But it'll never be easier than when it's out.

I have been using M1 for three years and 36k miles. The leak seems
to have been there for at least the past year (from the persistent
oil drip that does not clean away). If it is a non emergent item, I
would be happy to sit on it for a few months. BiL has all the
standard shop tools and
ce the pan gaskets & re-install the pan.

61x engines have a "rope" seal retained by a spike, so you have to
remove (or at least lift) the crank to replace it. You can just do the
half in the pan if you want, but likely it will still leak.
All later engines have a rubber lip seal, requires removal of the
flywheel to replace.
