Model A Ford Pickup Overheating! Part 1

[@essentialjudge2279]

It's got the dished firewall. Nice truck

Thanks for your comment! My friend is thoroughly enjoying his first Model A... and I'm glad I was able to help get someone new involved in the old car hobby!

Beautiful! Too bad no one was maintaining it. Empty rad, black oil. Ouch

[@Letsmakeitgreatagain.]

Thanks for watching!

[@garyruark9506]

I hope you don't find cracks between valve seats.

[@Letsmakeitgreatagain.]

So Far no cracks! Thanks for watching! I’m more of a Chevy guy, so working on the model A was a new venture for me!

😢Sounds like the present owner has been neglectful... Surely the first thing to check is for water leaks and make sure the oil is clean

[@Letsmakeitgreatagain.]

We all were under the impression Ray (owner) who past away in his sleep, had been very through in his restoration! Apparently NOT!

at least head bolts shouldnt be to bad if its been apart in last 20 years. ha good luck.

It wasn't until I got into the engine that I realized, my friend hadn't done any or at least very little work to the engine! From the outside it looked brand new, from the inside, not so much!
