    Can i store an engine without coolant?

    I'm going to be putting a new radiator, water pump, fan, etc on my A this weekend. Due to some family obligations I may not finish this weekend. Is it ok if I have my engine without coolant for possibly a week or two? Concerned about rust.

    New radiator for '29 Roadster.

    I need a new radiator for my '29 Roadster. I want to be able to drive the car at least 50 miles to car shows. Do i need to get a pressurized radiator? If i do I assume I would also have to get a leakless water pump? Any recommendations?

    Radiator steams after short drive.

    I'm the proud owner of a '29 roadster for all of 2 weeks! Much to learn! Under the hood looks very stock. A week ago I opened the Flying Quail radiator cap to check the coolant level. I could see a metal plate a few inches down. No coolant covering it. So I added some Prestone. Went for a drive...
