The story.. Car overheated and blew the top seam of the radiator last year. BrassWorks built a new radiator that I just got around to installing. After reading lots of threads about coolant being lost but cannot find where it’s going, I decided best to pull the heads to check it out.. Coolant leaking into #2 and #3 and looks like cylinder #4 got a little hot. By that I mean it looks like there is possibly some bluing in that cylinder. The number 2 cylinder has some rust from the top to about an inch down into the cylinder.

1. Can the rust be removed fairly easily without harm?
2. What are your thoughts on cylinder #4?

I’ll try to get some pictures posted..
