Hi all,

I just took possession of my Dad's 1929 Tudor. It has been in storage for about 5 years or so without much driving.

When I went out to get it running again, it belched out a ton of white smoke that smelled of anti-freeze.

Anyways, I am all for trying easy stuff first. Or so I thought.

Someone at some time in this car's life rebuilt the engine and glued the head on with some kind of extra terrestrial strength Tite-bond 4056 or something...

Needless to say, I am having a terrible time getting the head off the block. My plan is to soak the studs for the next couple of days with penetrating oil and try again.

Anyone else have any suggestions?
