Default Re: Cooling Problems, where to go next?

If the coolant is foaming below the boiling point, your problem is probably caused by air being sucked in to the cooling system around the water pump shafts. Your overheating starts as the foaming coolant is pushed out the overflow and you don't have enough coolant in the system. There are many on this sight that do not believe that this can happen. I learned first hand. Fought the foaming coolant problem all one summer on my 8BA. Local flathead expert put me on to the cause of my problems. Rebuilt the water pumps, problem solved. If you want more info on the subject, e mail me at [email protected]
