a friend bought a '29 roadster the other day . has no knowledge of it at all . my question is 2 part :
1) 75# compression in all . i think it may have a 5:5 head . my 2 stock motors had 55# . any thoughts ?
2) when reving motor up , it kicks the water out of the radiator . i think the rad is pluged . lots of grease in it from , i presume , over lub on the water pump . any thoughts ?
............... thank you .. steve

1) You're probably right.

2)a You're probably right.
2)b Get the radiator boiled and rodded, and hope it's otherwise good.

joe is right, summer is coming and since you have a radiator problem now is the time to fix it right, have a radiator shop boil and rod it out, save your money because there is not a radiator cleaner sold on the market that will clean a radiator
