1934 V8 flathead engine block water leak
I found various small drops that it's coming out from the engine block in different places, just above the starter. Could any give me any idea what is going on and how fix it?
How about engine block and coolant leak repair products? Please look the attached Photo |

Try Barrs leak, or alumaseal radiator additive. Either one should stop those leaks.

Re: 1934 V8 flathead engine block water leak
yikes... that looks like spider cracks in the block seeping coolant. Hows your oil look?
maybe... clean the area real well and smear some jd weld in the cracks. Add some bars leaks too? Guess it depends on what you what out of this engine. |

It looks (to me at least) that it is time to find another engine. That one is only temporary.

Re: 1934 V8 flathead engine block water leak
I'm with blue bell, time to start finding a replacement block and eventually rebuild the rest of the engine. Do you drive it very much or very far?? Doesn't look as if its leaking that much and if there is no water in your oil.....drive it till the replacement block is ready and you have the time and $$$$$ to make the switch!!!!

Re: 1934 V8 flathead engine block water leak
Those leaks are well above the core plugs. I agree that it is time for a new block. Looks like the whole bottom of the water jacket is beginning to rust through. I bet if you poked that area with a pick, you'd go right through the jacket.

Dear all, I live in Argentina and here is very difficult to find a brand new block or another engine.
Tinker. Rockfla and Terry OH, fortunately there is no water in oil. |
