Tom
Gee, reminds me of Saturdays when one of us will bring a Packard over to Owen's and we all work on it. Actually maybe one working and the rest supervising. When we wear gloves they're not as nice Did you have hot dogs afterwards? That's part of the ceremony. Regards John Harley

Hi Tom,
Nice to see you are sorting out the overheating problems on the 34s. Mine has got a lot better but is still not quite right. Would it be possible for you to write out an idiots guide on the Rad removal procedure? e.g 1, Remove bonnet (hood)2, disconnect headlamps etc etc Also where are the bolts situated that hold the Rad on? are they under the front crossmember? I look forward to reading the outcome of your Rad rebuilding. Regards Terry

I completely agree with 32model901's comments and methodology; impellor clearance is a very major and often overlooked factor in pump performance. The playdough method is also a very good way of measuring the engine valve-to-cylinder head clearance.

Its its mystery that it even cooled. Photo 001 and 002 are the bottom. 004 and 005 are the top of the core.
Stay Tuned...

Is that rust or a mineral deposit clogging it or something else? Looks rather strange--almost like pulp as in dissolved paper. Whatever, bottle it. Looks almost guaranteed to stop anything from leaking.

Quick update...
Its amazing what a new core will do. Finally, I can enjoy this car. I will keep everyone updated, as its still needs to be run in 90 degrees. Over the road is 160-165...at extended low RPM idol, 180-185...back down to 160-165 once underway again. Terry, I will put together something on what I did and what you will need to do the job. Thanks everyone.

Hi Tom,
That new rad sure looks cool(excuse the pun)How the heck did she run with the other one God only knows. The photos were good but it would be nice to know your sequence of work and thankyou for your offer of putting something together for me, I look forward to it. Our first show of the season is coming up soon and then a fifty mile run to one of our seaside Towns in aid of Charity. Jean Luc will get a bit warm at times but i've learnt to read the signs and stop accordingly for a bit of a ccol down. He never gets as hot as yours did. Please keep the updates coming. All the best Terry
