I spent an hour out in the garage this morning. As this is the first Studebaker that I've torn down, I'm going SLLOOOWWWW. I took off both valve covers and the valley pan. The rockers look good, but there was a little milkyness to the oil in the lifter area. I'm not too concerned, but I'll have to watch as the rest comes apart. I need to make up a parts list for the head pieces and give Phil at Fairborn Studebaker a call []. Need to figure who I'm going to have do the head work. Suggestions?



I also had an upper air deflector that I had bought used a couple years ago. I removed the hood latch, hood release cable clamp and the bolts used for the hood bumpers.

I'm building up another small pile of parts to be powdercoated. I have both valve covers, the upper air deflector, both engine mount brackets and the alternator bracket.
