Buick35

I pulled the water jacket off of my 35 Buick due to a leak.I found the hole that had rusted through and am going to get it patched.Anyway,what can I use to cost the inside of it to help prevent further corrosion? I thought POR 15 but any thoughts? Thanks.

I got the water jacket off by removing the manifold first.Anyway it doesn't look too bad underneath.I found a hole in the jacket cover that needs to be fixed though.I didn't find any kind of battle that people were talking about,no freeze plugs under there either. Tomorrow I'll order new gaskets.

Is the water cover jacket supposed to be the engine color or black? Just wondered.Thanks

Is the end attachment with a screw spot just got alignment or should a stud go there? Just wondered.

Thanks,All the manifold bolts are just wrench tight.

I've had the evap o rust in it for about three weeks.I've started it and let it idle a few times.I have a new water cover gasket.It's leaking too badly to really drive the car. I don't think I'll have trouble with the bolts. Only thing I'm concerned about is the bafflel under the cover. I wish I had a picture of what it looks like. Thanks.

My leak has gotten worse under my water jacket.I'll probably start removing it this weekend.If I need a replacement with baffle,dose anyone have a spare one for sale? Thanks,Greg.

My water jacket is leaking and I might need a replacement with baffle if anyone has one.Thanks

My water jacket is leaking on my 35 40 series Buick and I may need a good one.I haven't removed the old one yet.Thanks

Please keep your political opinions to yourself!

Thanks for the replies.Greg

I've got about a 'x6" area on the side of my good on my 35 Buick that could use another cost of paint.I was thinking of using a pre-val aerosol bottle. Any thoughts on using one? Thanks.

I was unable to retrieve my private message,could you e-mail it to me Thanks

Thanks for the pictures.I looked at my catalogue from "Bobs"and it doesn't list a cover gasket for a 36,that should have give me a clue.Now I know.Nice looking engine.Greg.

Where can I buy this stuff? I looked on the internet but no luck.Thanks.Greg

Weird that it doesn't have a water jacket cover.I thought it would be basically the same engine.Mine also has the passenger side lifter cover.Maybe I'll find block freeze plugs when I remove the water jacket cover. Could you send a picture?Thanks

Is yours a Pontiac?

Thanks. I don't drive it as much as I should.

Someone said to leave it in for a couple of months, is that too long?

Anyway to tighten up the passenger side rear view mirror to keep it in place? I've tightened up the large nut as much as I can but it still falls down.Thanks,Greg.

I got in a hurry and installed the thermostat but I'll take it out tomorrow.I did install the stocking.Should it be closer to the top or bottom of the upper hose or dose it matter? I filled the radiator and now another problem. I have a vertical crack in my upper radiator tank about two inches ,someone said to solder it or would it be better to braze it? Thanks for any info.Greg

While doing the evap-o-rust treatment should the radiator thermostat be left out or installed? 35 Buick.

Thanks,I couldn't see any on the left side of the block.We're yours under the water jacket cover?

Silly question,Dose a 233 engine have "freeze plugs"?If so where are they located? My shop manual has no mention of them.Thanks,Greg.
