Clint & Nancy:
I torqued the head bolts on my 53′ Merc when it was done. The I start it up without water for about 3 minutes, then let it cool off and then re-torque it again. Then fill the block with water and start it up and let it come to full temperature…let it cool off and then re-torque it again. Then run it about 100 miles and re-torque it again. Then I would say at least once a year there after.
The bolts will leak in the begining…..
I would re-bleed the brakes……
Archie and Julie:
I have a 53′ Merc with what I believe is the same system. I also bought the origional service manual a while back. I rebuilt my booster shortly after getting the car. The unit is very simple and I can vouch that it works great when rebuilt. If I can be of any help let me know.
