Re: Foam in Anti-freeze

Re: Foam in Anti-freeze

Re: Foam in Anti-freeze

Re: Foam in Anti-freeze

I don't think so. Just what overflows when it foams.

Re: Foam in Anti-freeze

Drained the anti-freeze (cold engine). All that foam is just the result of the anti-freeze dropping from the spigot to the pan. If this occurs via simple, mild agitation, I would think that it...

Re: Foam in Anti-freeze

Re: Foam in Anti-freeze

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Trying to eliminate one-by-one.

As per some Fordbarn advice, the pic shows the four plugs and the anti-freeze I use.

Foam in Anti-freeze

What the heck is causing this foam?
I did the "Lestoil shuffle" a few years ago, but I don't think it's that.

Re: Fuel Shut-off O-Ring

Thanks for all the replies.
It's a repro valve. No packing.
Used on a 1930, under the tank.

The hardware store did have bins of O-rings but none matched.I'll try another store.

Fuel Shut-off O-Ring

After I replaced my fuel shut-off, I thought I might play with the old, leaky one. A buddy of mine will help me "lap" the brass sections. However, I'd also like to get a new O-Ring for the stem but...

Fuel shutoff confusion

I decided against a fuel shutoff rebuild kit and instead, for a new valve.
For kicks, I dis-assembled the old shutoff (see attachment).
I was expecting to see some old grungy packing but all I...

Re: More Generator Questions

I wonder if I have mix-and-match.
Perhaps that's what is causing the shaft play?

Do I put a dollop of grease in the bushing when I re-assemble?
