Item 3.  Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.

          The following documents filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by the registrant, Coltec
Industries Inc, a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"),
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), are incorporated as of their respective dates in this
registration statement by reference:

          1.  The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1993.

          2.  All other reports filed by the Company pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since December 31,
1993.

          3.  The description of the Company's common stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), appearing under the
caption "Description of Capital Stock" in the prospectus included
in the registrant's registration statement on Form S-2 (File No.
33-44846), including any amendment or report filed for the pur-
pose of updating such information.

          4.  All documents subsequently filed by the Company
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange
Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which
indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed
to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof
from the date of filing of such documents.  Any statement con-
tained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for
purposes of this registration statement to the extent that a
statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed
document which also is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated

such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed,

Item 4.  Description of Securities.

          Not Applicable

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

          Not Applicable

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

          Article Seventh of the Company's Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation provide for indemnification of officers
and directors of the Company to the extent permitted by Pennsyl-
vania law, which generally permits indemnification for actions
taken by officers or directors as representatives of the Company
in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the Company's best interests, subject to certain
limitations.

          In accordance with Pennsylvania law, the Company's
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and By-laws
contain provisions eliminating the personal liability of direc-
tors to the Company and its shareholders for monetary damages for
breaches of their fiduciary duties, except for breach of a
director's duty to act with statutorily defined due care and for
a breach which constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or
recklessness.  The applicable provisions of Pennsylvania law
pertain only to breaches of duty by directors as directors and
not in any other corporate capacity, including as officers.  As a
result of the inclusion of such provisions, shareholders may be
unable to recover monetary damages against directors for actions
taken by them which constitute negligence or gross negligence or
which are in violation of their fiduciary duties, although it may
be possible to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief with
respect to such actions.  If equitable remedies are found not to
be available to shareholders in any particular case, shareholders
may not have any effective remedy against the challenged conduct.

Item 9.  Required Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

               (a)(1)  To file, during any period in which offers
or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement:

                  (i)  To include any prospectus required by
     Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                 (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
     events arising after the effective date of the registration
     statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
     thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represents
     a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
     registration statement;

                (iii)  To include any material information with
     respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
     in the registration statement or any material change to such
     information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-
effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporat-
ed by reference in the registration statement.

                  (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-
effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                  (3)  To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

               (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes
that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securi-
ties Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

               (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the regis-
trant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the regis-
trant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceed-
ing) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the regis-
trant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnifica-
tion by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Coltec Industries Inc
430 Park Avenue
New York, New York 10022

Gentlemen:

          We have acted as special Pennsylvania counsel to Coltec
Industries Inc, a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), in
connection with the proposed issuance by the Company of 4,468,000
shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Shares"),
4,360,000 of which may be issued pursuant to the Company's 1992
Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Stock Option
Plan") and 108,000 of which may be issued pursuant to the
Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors (the
"Outside Directors Plan").  This opinion is furnished in connec-
tion with the filing by the Company of its Registration Statement
on Form S-8 relating to the Shares under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Registration Statement").

          In connection with the opinion expressed below we have
examined the originals or copies otherwise identified to our
satisfaction of such public and corporate certificates, documents
and records, and have examined such questions of law as, in our
judgment, are necessary or appropriate to render the opinions
expressed herein.  In our examination of the documents referred
to in the preceding sentence, we have assumed the authenticity of
all such documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness
of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the
authority of persons signing in a representative capacity and the
conformity to the originals of such documents submitted to us as
copies.  In rendering the opinion expressed below we have assumed
that any previously issued shares reacquired by the Company and
used under the Stock Option Plan or the Outside Directors Plan
will have been duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid at
the time of their original issuance.

          Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the
opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, when
issued and paid for in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the Stock Option Plan or the Outside Directors Plan, as the
case may be, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-
assessable.

Coltec Industries Inc         -2-            July 20, 1994




          We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as
Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.

                              Very truly yours,
