Guest Garya Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Just sitting will get one pint of water in Oil.Engine not running. Changed Head Gasket no improvement Followed shop manual. Number two cylinder shot water out during compression check. But not after new Head Gasket. All cylinders now have 90 PSI. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimy Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Flatheads crack in their blocks rather than heads, especially around the exhaust valve seats. Start looking in #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Garya Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Thanks, Grimy will start looking today. Best regards, Garya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimy Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Rotate until exhaust valve is open all the way, then scrub with wire brushes and look for a crack. Do you know anyone with a magnetic crack detector? Some cracks are repairable with engine in car if it's a small crack. Lock-n-Stitch (google them) will sell their patented screws, but you need someone experienced to do the work. I once had a (non-Mopar) flathead 6 with a crack from the exhaust seat, across the deck, and 2 inches down into the cylinder. Block had to come out for that, took it to them, and had it back, pressure-tested, in about a week. Ran the car at least ten thousand miles after that repair.

Guest Garya Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 All is well. 24 Hours and no water in the oil. Had head checked and milled. Used 120 grit sandpaper on block. Sandpaper was attached to 2/4. Surface of block was so smooth I could see myself. New felt-pro head gasket. No cracks in head. I think the head gasket was the problem .
