Hello People,
I took my 1275 head off b/c my head gasket was leaking which i believe was
causing my bugeye to run at 190 - 205 F under normal driving conditions.
Since I had the head off, the Haynes book for my car reccomends to clean the
carbon build up off of the piston crowns and try to take a little of the
deposits off around the top of the piston around the cylinder wall...
I did and it was amazing how much crap was built up on top of the
pistons....
I also found that there was a bunch of crap blocking the small tube just
under the head that connects to the water pump i think....
GGGGGGss i hope when i get it put back together she runs cooler.
I am getting the head checked out and skimmed, and will be puting new head
gaskets and manifold gaskets and a new duplex timing chain and the six
bladed plastic fan....
is there anything else???,
Chris
