Default Re: Head Gasket repair 1936 21 stud

The Radiator was in good condition before the event. Car ran cool 180-190f, but had to keep an eye onthe coolant level. Seems like each time I drove it, I kept having to add coolant. I didn’t know where it was going. It is stock, unpressurized system. The stock temp gauge and the SW underdash gauge never showed overheating.

At first start up there was always a bit of “condensation” from the single exhaust but it would always burn off. The engine was rebuilt in 2003 by the previous owner. He was more of a model T guy and the 36 sat in his garage most of the time, so not many miles were on the engine when I got the car.
