Hey guys. its been a while since Ive been on here. Been pretty much enjoying the car up until a month ago when I blew my headgasket. Just got around to tearing it apart today and it was definitely the gasket (i tried snyders no leak gasket on this motor) which aparently didnt work since it...

heres the most current link as well http://www.ebay.com/itm/1930-1931-MODEL-aluminum-radiator-stock-4cyl-motor-/151474476231?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item23449514c7

thanks guys! Just to verify the one that I ordered was from a company out of Michigan, they make them on site there. I looked into the ones from china but unfortunately they didnt make one for a 30-31 at the time. And if anyone was wondering what paint I used on the core, its eastwood satin...

I had a similar issue after i put the new engine in my car. Constantly overheating. Thought it was the exhaust leak. Got a new manifold gasket, didnt fix the problem. Then reset my timing, didnt fix it. Then changed the distributor, still didnt fix up. Wound up being the tubes on my radiator...

i am having the same problem with my car. The mount on my exhaust broke all together. Didnt even think that would cause something like this, ill definitely check this out. btw i do 55-60 all day long and never have any problems.

Just thought id let everyone know, going on 3 months now and this is working phenominal still. solved all of my overheating issues, car definitely has noticeable increase in performance, and is no longer spilling large amounts of coolant out the overflow. Would highly recommend this for the...

Well i drove for the car for about 3 hours straight tonight. not a single problem. Antifreeze has not lost a drop since yesterday. Car is running noticeably cooler and has more power. I also forgot to add, that I weighed both, and the original brass radiator was almost 3x as heavy as this...

update! Radiator is installed! fit is pretty much perfect, just had to drill holes to line up the grill shell, then drilled holes in the bottom to mount it. Even the braces fit perfectly in the groves. I wound up painting just the core, and left the tanks polished aluminum, it looks really nice...

I offered $355, which equals out to $400 shipping included. The cheapest brass rad I could find was around $530+ shipping. They wanted $600 to recore my current rad...$250 to hot tank it. Yeah Im not sure if the guy was lying or if it was just a ****** recore. In the end I spent $400 shipping...

So my radiator is shot. My original brass one, had several leaks in it, so I bought another used brass one from a memeber on here, that was recored at one point. That one lasted about 2 years, now it needs to be recored. So i bought this...

The head gasket I bought said to not use any sealants, including copper. It said something about it being self sealing, so I just left it alone, torqued it to spec using the proper pattern, then retorqued it after 50 miles. and I just retorqued it tonight. 1). I just jb'd it, so hopefully...

okay, so I backflushed everything (managed to get a hold of a sump pump). Pulled out some minor dirt and that was it! I blew everything else out as well, just to be on the safe side. So nothing seems to be clogged. Did find something though. Looks like I have a cracked block :mad: pretty pissed...

That's what I'm thinking. I think I may have missed something somewhere. I do not have access to a sump pump. Could I just blow everything out, refill with water then blow out again? The motor is used, but new to me. The motor is actually easier to crank then the previous motor. Since I have...

hey there guys, having an issue with overheating on the newer motor I just installed on my model a. The previous motor I had, had no overheating issue, and is using the same equipment as the new motor. After driving about 10-15 minutes, coolant starts dumping out the overflow, and the...

still looking!!
