Hello All, I have a 1936 p up with a 1962, 235 engine that has been all pro rebuilt, & it is pumping oil into the cooling system evidentally due to a crack somewhere in the head oil galleys; the oil has completely stopped up the radiator and coated the inside of the engine, to the point of overheating. Looks like I will have to get another head & swap out my valves; I have used the Prestone cleaner several times to no avail; does anyone know how I can get this crud out of the block? It"s the consistency of wet cement, Also do any of you have a good head for sale, I hope someone of you can help, Thanks, Richard

Try Purple Power. You can find it at most discount stores. It works well and fluslhes out with water.

Yes! Follow the directions on the container. It is a great de-greaser. What I like about it? It is cheap!
