On my Pontiac nothing, but it’s a means to an end…..
I rebuilt the engine on my ‘62 Mercury over the winter. I had about 75 miles on the break in and lost 2nd gear on the transmission. Well, that was 6 weeks ago. I finally got out in the shop and pulled the tail shaft to get the governor out. Cleaned it up and reinstalled the tail shaft, then dropped the pan , cleaned the brass screen/filter, then filled it up. I still had it up on jack stands and it shifted in 2nd gear. I’ll try to actually road test tomorrow.
OK, now I can swap spots in the garage and pull the engine out of the LeMans. Massive oil leaks, detonation , and who knows what I’ll find when I tear it down. Hoping for an overhaul and cam swap, but may rebuild depending on what I find.
I just wanted to get the Mercury running before I tore into my next project.
