Re: 1958 Lark 35

[flathead]

I have pulled thermostat after it heats up. It blows water out the cap. The channel I mentioned is I assume, a water passageway around the head. It looks like an 8. The rubber was in the bottom of the 8. If that is a water passage, there is no way it wasn’t restricting water flow. I’m not sure that’s the only place, but it was one place anyhow. Also there was a piece I found earlier in the bottom hole that Frank mentioned, behind the core plug. Is there a problem using carbkleen type spray to clean it up before installing new gasket?
