not sure if this is the correct spot for this but here goes

took the truck out for the first drive 1953 3600 frame off resto, pumpkin is out of a 67 or 68 chev pu, 54 car 235. brake drums are all new bearing are new.
it was a short distance but I drove it three times.
engine performed well however;
1. I had an 8 inch puddle of oil under the flywheel after I shut her down.
thought maybe the cork gasket needed to soak and swell?
2. the harmonic balancer looks like it's wobbling but I used hotrods tap system and it's bolted on tight.
3.a833 tranny is noisy in all gears yes there is oil in it.
4. there is a sound like one of the brake drums is rubbing on metal. very un-nerving. I jacked up the truck and spun all the wheels and could not duplicate the sound.
other than those I think everything is running well. it need an alignment I think as it tends to wander. a little hard to tell since I was on a frontage road.
any thoughts would be appreciated.

thanks
