ON a 33 with a 59A I was loosing coolant.I removed the top rad hoses & T-stats,removed the WP belt & filled cooling system almost to the top of water necks on cyl heads.Ran engine at various speeds & noticed bubbles rising in one cyl head.Replaced the head gasket on that side & it was OK. It was nice not having to guess which side to change.
