Re: 1949 F1 Regulator Problem

Re: Water pump comparisons

Re: Water pump comparisons
Thank you, all, for the helpful input. The thing is, I AM wanting to put a bandaid on a problem, rather than do a complete teardown and rebuild. This engine has only about 1000 miles on it after a...

Re: Elusive Block Crack?
Thanks, everyone, for the advice. At this point I think I'll just see if I can check the passages for scale and sand and remove as much as I can of any I find, then reinstall the head and go for a...

Re: Elusive Block Crack?
Thanks, everyone. All good advice, but I have to think the bubbles in the coolant indicate a crack somewhere. The radiator seems to be fine, in fact I believe it was recored just before I bought...

Re: Head gaskets
Thanks, 19Fordy. I read everything twice, but there's still no answer to why one or the other style gasket would be preferable. Still baffled.
