I got the E ready to start yesterday and when a pulled up on the crank i didn't like what i heard. Then antifreeze started running out between the head and exhoust manifold on #4. The gasket had been blown out there.
Apperantly it filled up a cylinder awile in storage I hope it is just a bad head gasket.
Question is I will not have time to pull the head for awile so i want to drain the fluids and pull the plugs and fill the cylinders with something to displace the antifreeze.
What should i put in there?        WD40 comes to mind but i need alot of it.
 
The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend?

If it were mine I would find the time to at least remove the head and get it dried out and oiled. Barring that I would drain it, pull the plug from #4 and start it up to blow it out and dry things out then pour a generopus quanitity of motor oil anc crank it over a few turns. Remember that if you have a cylinder full some it it is also in he oil pan so you need to drain the pan or at least drain the coolant from the bottom.

Fred, The good news is when i take her down she will get the sleves that i got from you. and i plan to fix that oil leak.
I already have to many projects started and right now lots of paying work. I probably shouldn't take time for the show this week end But I am going to.
And i realy hate to tear her down and let it sit waiting to be put back together. This one already had that done to her before. for 35 years
And no i am not going to hire you to do it for me.
I tried to get the powers of being to change the work week to 2 days and make weekends 5 days. No luck making that happen.
