Re: Rebuilt Engine Options

Re: oil filters

Re: New Coupe
Many a collector car was dismantled, and is now a heap of junk rusting away, and parts get tossed. People get in over their head, and over their wallet.

Re: Cleaning the radiator
"Is radiator inadequate?" When I bought my car it had one of those el-cheapo Sear Robuck radiators in it. Come the heat of summer it would boil over. Cleaning one of those, or recoring it (as it...

Re: Tight crank gear
And experienced Husband! LOL Can't ya put the grease on the crankshaft surface instead? Seems like a helper with 2 pair of heavy leather gloves and a big pair of channel-locks would be handy.

Re: Another Find
Reminds me of the cover on the back of the pickup in Cool Hand Luke. The scene when his mother is brought to visit him while he is in prison.

Re: Cleaning the radiator
Some of these techniques in these comments are likely good maintenance every once in a while. How often depends on a few factors. One thing for sure, water pump grease sounds like a major culprit....

Re: Cleaning the radiator
Al these comments are good. I like the dishwasher soap thing, followed by vinegar, but I thing 72 to 48 hours is good. Especially if you take the car for a spin or two. Remember, any antifreeze...
