Re: Overheating and fed up....
OK, did some testing.....first checked that water flowed freely through block and that passed, flowed right through. Then did what B-O-B suggested with upper hoses and fan belt off. Saw a burping in the water on the pass side nothing on the driver but driver got 10* hotter and water would overflow the pump flange while pass. side did not. Didn't see any large bubbles on driver side. Any more test suggestions before pulling the heads? Thanks....

Re: Overheating and fed up....
I would suggest re-torqueing the head and if you decide to take a stab at it be sure to back to nut off and record how much torque it took then re-torqueing the nut

Re: Overheating and fed up....
Thanks Harold....I can try that easy enough to see if it will make a difference. YL has changed quite a bit from the 60's....East of Kellogg is all new development and not as many equestrian properties.....I'm in East Lake....

Re: Overheating and fed up....
OK.....after much thought, I decided to pull the heads to check gaskets and look for cracks. First, the water pumps are all corroded with something. This mix has been in for two months. It is a mix of A.F/Water/and No-Rosen suggested by Rumble-seat's blog. After cleaning.. It looks like the impeller is being eaten away.... And the last photo is the root of my overheating. Sandy sludge between the back cylinders. How should I get this out without screwing something else up? Appreciate all suggestions.....Having problems getting all photos here...

Re: Overheating and fed up....
Sandy sludge. Is it core sand? Was the core sand cleaned out of the block at the last rebuild?

Re: Overheating and fed up....
I suspect that new radiator. You say larger tubes, not necessarily good. How many rows? You need 4. Aluminum or brass? Brass cools better. And clean out that block! Hot just in town or on the road too?

Re: Overheating and fed up....
Maybe it just needs burping. Jack up the front, remove the cap and run it awhile. The trapped air will bubble out if there is any.
Also, run thermostats. |

Re: Overheating and fed up....
mike that's not so good to hear about your issues. ive never seen that crud on a water pump like that before. I wouldn't think the casting sand is your issue, I would say it was the crud on the water pumps which ha caused them to move/pump only a small amount of water. sand has been there now for 81 years and never caused any issues previously, now you know about it, its best to get it out though. I would think you will need to get the block out and spend a bit of time with a screwdriver loosening it as you wash it out.

Re: Overheating and fed up....
The sand had to come from somewhere! It is either getting added to the cooling system somehow or something is causing the original casting to come loose and move about. Almost everyone that takes to time to clean the blocks out (they have a ton of sand and wire in there!) claim much fewer cooling issues. The only other thing I can think of is something is going on with the coolant that just appears to be "sandy". But if it is truly fine sand, casting sand could sure be the source.
