If it's the clutch, I would think you could take off in 2nd, get it rolling maybe 5 mph and shift to 3rd and go full throttle. If it lugs and pulls the car up to 30 mph like that, stop and do the same test, then once in 3rd, push the clutch in about 2" then right back out. Only at 1/2 throttle...

Excuse my ignorance on the age old "Art" of double clutching. When you rev the engine in neutral, to rev match the gears, is that with the clutch out? Then clutch in and down or up shift to desired gear? That to me would be "double" clutching. Thanks forum, Your The Best!

Going to the next oversize ring set to make a "File fit" set, makes me nervous and to my knowledge is ill advised.

Do you use the metal end as the inlet or the gasketed end?

Has the car done this ever since you've owned it?

Won't load for me, but could be on my end.

For me it's ease of forming kink free bends and soldering skills.

I would add the overflow tube but go with copper instead of brass and soldering instead of welding. I also put a 2" roofing nail in the overflow tube of mine to help eliminate it splashing out while running at 45 m.p.h.

I use captured, filtered rain water for radiators and batteries.

Dawn, to be specific. It cuts oil and grease really well. Especially at 140°.

What if the shocks are empty, misadjusted or not functioning as designed?

I watched the video but couldn't see the link to the outlet he used.

Barnwood, where are you located? I have a good, clean used 30-31 radiator in Northwest Ohio. PM me if interested.

Was it it's normal quiet self for the first 4,950 miles?

Loose cam gear? Easy to check by inserting the timing peg, lightly will running at a idle to see if sound changes.
