Default Re: After Replacing the Headgasket - Update

Drive the thing and carry your AAA card. As long as you have a plan if something should happen, drive and enjoy your Model A. I am sure it will be just fine.


It doesn't happen often, but on one 1500 mile tour, we did a head gasket change on the side of the road on one of the cars, Still made it to our overnight stop on time. No big deal.


Also radiator stop leak is a good idea. Most if not all auto manufacturers put stop leak or some kind of a sealer at the factory to seal up little voids in the castings or a small leak so do not feel bad about using some in your Model A.


Personally, I like Barr's Leak for this type of thing. There are other brands that also work well.


My opinion,


Chris
