440ICD 602 Project.

I got this 440 in June of 2022. It was tired but with some adjustments and a handful of minor repairs it has been a work horse.

The clutch had started slipping so out came the engine.

When the engine separated from the bell housing about a quart of engine oil poured out. The drain hole was plugged up with a piece of a cut off bolt and oil sludge.

Image

The engine wasn’t using much oil (especially for a Detroit) so it appears the rear seal has a slow leak that couldn’t drain out the bottom
and built up inside the housing. Check those drain holes.
