Re: New Flathead “Steaming” Exhaust
Well guys, the clouds parted and the sun shown through today. Haven’t added any block sealer products yet however I spent all morning driving the truck up and down my road (my neighbors hate me I’m sure) and within an hour of running and driving the light steam disappeared and the exhaust stopped dripping moisture. I can’t help but think sometimes you gotta run these old engines quite a bit to get everything to seal up. Or maybe I was too paranoid about a leak when she just needed to be driven. Whatever it was I hope the issue doesn’t come back. I still plan to add the Morosos sealer for a little insurance.

If you have an internal exhaust leak into coolant you can find that by looking at bubbles in your rad or take the hoses off the head and run it with coolant up to the head tops. If nothing, it's just condensation or a head gasket leak in my thinking. I do very little thinking, and I'm usually wrong. Do like the color scheme and truck a bunch.

Hi all just thought I’d give an update. Been a couple weeks and have been enjoying the truck without anymore smoke. I have been having the time of my life cruising even though it rides like wagon on rocks. Time to finish the bed wood, but wanted to say thanks for all your help everyone! Helpful community and resource for these old vehicles, gotta soak up as much knowledge as I can so my generation can carry on these rides...
