Thanks for your help the engine has been rebuilt and was not happy with the end result, it is with a new person who is working though the issue but any assistance is welcome thanks again We have a rebuilt the radiator and playing with the water restriction to the radiator and the distributor timing etc. Car runs hot on freeway above 45 mph get to and over 200 even on mild days

I believe there are 2 types of Head gaskets for the 1931 Chrysler CG Imperial and does any know how i can find out which one and how to get a pattern as i need to get one? Engine number CG3411 body number CG- 929-CG Trying to resolve over heading especial whilst running at higher speeds, the head is also running hotter than the block. Reconditioned temp gauge indicated getting to over 200 above 50 mile for any length of time i have a 3.5 diff in the rear end FYI. Appreciate your assistance

Hi Everyone, Thank you very much for all the information you have provided i will take all your comments to my mechanic but provides me as a no mechanic a better understanding. We are going to take the side plates off the engine on Friday to check if there is any restriction, interesting Roger sated ave a water tube that distributes the water rearward and sends it between the cylinders. It commonly has to be replaced we can check but does anyone know if this should be in there ? We have had the pump out and overhauled when we recorded the radiator and it was also clear behind the pump in the block which i am told were it can building restrictions. My mechanic and rebuilder of the radiator is also saying the water maybe be pumping to fast and not having enough time to cool down which a lot has mentioned too and certainly going to look at too. When we had the radiator out for repaired we check the hoses / pipes to the radiator all good When we had to remove the head due to removing asbestos when i brought it into the country it was check and appeared clear at the time i am told by mechanic. We are ruining a 50/50 antifreeze solution in the car I had to install a new temperature probe( old one broke off) so had a new one recalibrated to the gauge so i trust the readings when running the car it was about 13C or 56F so not a hot day Once again that you all it is greatly appreciated happy motoring to you all, I hope to have this babe running well on the Australian roads, i hope to take it to Wangaratta late September as the Chrysler Nationals for 1 weeks are in Victoria this year i am sure it will attached some attached hopefully for the right reason.

Hello, i have a 1931 Chrysler CG Imperial and have had the radiator recorded, pump overhauled and it is running hot. juts running around the streets the temperature quickly runs up to180 and depending on if i am stop starting running at low speed the temperature ranges between 160 - 180, When i take it on a freeway the temperature runs initially at 180 for a few miles, then when i start to slow down on a off ramp it will climb to 180 - 200. There does not appear to be a thermostat in the head and the radiator fins are opening and shutting as they should see picture at the petrol station when running hot with vents open. Some say maybe the pumps is pushing the coolant through the radiator to fast and not cooling enough? Mechanic says when they had the head off it looked ok, when water pump was removed the block was clear behind the water pump , they are about to pull site plates off to check rest of block later this week Love to have some feed back on thoughts on the above
