We have a 31 Model A with a "New" rebuilt engine by a name brand West Coast engine rebuilder. Engine has total of 50 miles since start up last week. Engine runs like a champ. Today it started to spit brownish foam from the radiator cap. took off radiator cap and lots of brownish foam inside. Freshly rebuilt radiator...and water pump. Called the rebuilder...but they are gone already today. Any help where we should start looking? Radiator is warm but definately not hot. Thanks for the input. Gil NoCal
