Hi Karl,
Thanks for the mention, this is a great resource for the exchange of information. There is a bearing and seal company here in Sydney (Au) where I was able to buy new bearings for virtually all the bearings in my 1922 and 1929 Packards. They got to know me well over many years, usually greeting me with "Oh no, not you again, what is it this time!" but they actually went out of their way to help and when I showed them that kingpin bearing they came up with those tapered roller bearings. My memory is that they came from a Nissan Patrol but maybe they were also from the Toyota. I am enjoying your 136 Sport restoration story, it will be a stunning car. David

That is not normal, the water level should not drop below the top of the core.

The coolant is expanding when it gets hot and contracting when it cools. It's normal, they all do that. The cold water level is well below the filler. If you top it up it will overflow when it gets hot.

Interesting background story Karl, and thanks for your generous words, I enjoyed those exchanges. Karl is doing all of the work on this rare car and the results are stunning.

The internal housing is made from pot metal and is almost certainly cracked and distorted and must be replaced.

You are describing the reasons why these cars need a vacuum tank, not an electric fuel pump. The vacuum pump feeds by gravity at negligible pressure.
