Re: 1958 Lark 35

[flathead]

Thought I’d update the progress. I put the new core plug in, same result. So I pulled the head, found 2 pieces of impeller in the channel of the head. So now I’m waiting on a new head gasket. Hopefully this will be the cure. It’s been a battle so far. While I have the head off, is there anything I should do? Any other places I should look for rubber? There is some scoring in the cylinder walls, I’d assume some would be normal for a motor this old? Like I said before, the motor runs nice. Is there anything special I have to use to clean the head/block surfaces? How about sealant, what should be used on the head gasket? Thanks again for the help.
