I drive the "T" - it does not sit in garage, I do the same to the "A". I live in Florida -so no freezing cold days. This happened in August 2014. I had her tuned so well when starting, it fired up immediately. Went for a drive -ran around for a couple hours stopping here and there. One of the stops she would not start, nothing I could do - then out of no where she fired up -made it half way ans stopped. Checked fuel and noticed low but still had some. Would not start - tried for a while and finally called AAA hauled home. Put fuel in tank - no luck. Let it sit for a few weeks (had to get back to work).
Came back tried to turn it over and found engine not turning over so I pulled on the crank and it gave loose. I pulled the plugs and found all 4 showing rust(not a lot ) but all 4 had evidence of water (very little but all showed rust ). I pulled head off and did not see any evidence of blown/damaged head gasket. I have not done a thing to it since -but ready to get at it now. So here we go - Any suggestions how to proceed? I have been told to get new gasket - install head and modify a plug so I can pressurize each cylinder and with radiator full -if there is a crack in cylinder walls the radiator would bubble - seems far fetched because all 4 plugs showed water . Please advise. Thank you.
