Mike:
Thanks for the cleaning tips on the block. I was gone most of the day and my helper cleaned out the rest of the engine water jackets by hand. We'll be getting together tomorrow to decide what the next step will be.

The babbit bearings were used up until late 1936 when they went to the stell inserts. Mine is a 1938-1942 production and has the latter type.

Ford flatheads have always run hot. One of things I have done is to have a diffferent filler neck installed that will accept a radiator cap with a four pound pressure. This should help prevent the loss of so much water. However, it will still require attention!

Regards,
Jim
