Re: Cooling system in Model A Ford
If the water is boiling over, let cool down, don't touch it. Even though its not pressurized it can boil out the top. Also the steam can burn you very quickly.

Re: Cleaning engine water jacket
Try white vinegar, it will work. Block the water outlet, fill the block, let it soak for a week or longer. You will be amazed how well it works.

Re: Uphill oil leak
Just wondering, what type of oil filler cap is on the engine. Has someone stuffed something in the cap to slow the blow by? Are the baffles bent, causing pressure in the crankcase?
