Exoilfld is now a scammer using wlcox65@yahoo.com as his email. He contacted me regarding parts from an old ad and seemed suspicious as he wanted my email without asking questions regarding the parts. I messaged that if he was interested to give me his phone number and I would call. The area...

Problem looks to be solved!! Installed 160 thermostats and Skip’s overflow check valve…and after a 10 mile trip with temp running around 160-165, pulled into driveway and parked it….and zero overflow!! Will continue monitoring but so far so good. Thanks to everyone who responded, and also to Tom...

It might be a 38…the ends curve down on 38, and are flipped over (curving up) on 37

Flatjack9–so switching to all water cured the foaming issue?

Engine does not have thermostats according to PO.

So I ran engine with rad cap off to observe. Ran engine at idle and at higher speed at times, temp came up to about 160-170 and held steady. When revving engine, noticed foaming when held at higher speed after warmed up, then foam would dissipate when rpm’s dropped. The foaming was not...

Another consideration…Did 1950 8BA engines have pressurized cooling systems? I’m running a 1950 8BA on a 1938 unpressurized cooling system… Are 8BA water pumps and coolant flow same as stock ‘38 flathead pumps/coolant flow? Curious if this is a relevant variable…

Barners—thank you for you thoughtful and informative input. I will check with previous owner regarding thermostats. Spoke with Skip Haney—after describing symptoms he suggested updating gasket at base of radiator cap and using one of his overflow hose check valves (ordered-check’s in the mail).

No water in oil and no oil in coolant. What are the physical signs of leaking head gasket? Should coolant be visible at top of cores? I do notice some small bits of rust in radiator when filled to top of cores. But after a few drives, coolant level drops due to overflowing. Car doesn’t run hot.
