HaveThree Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Our '35 521-J Aerodynamic after the replacement of the cylinder head. We discovered three cracks in the head and had to remove it on each occasion to have it repaired. Very time consuming, but now it's running beautifully.

Hupp36 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I had a heating problem on my 1929 Hupp model A .Took the side water jacket side panel off and cleaned out what was in there, not much. Had the radiator boiled out by a radiator shop and 80 % flow rate was the end result. the shop said that would be ok. Installed the radiator back on the car and at 90 Deg.F out side temp the new temp gauge was reading 190 Deg running at a fast idle for !/2 Hr. Not satisfied with that I placed a fan on a chair in front of the radiator on low speed. Ran at same speed for 1/2 hr. Engine cooled down to 160. Had a 1931 pats car with a fan on the engine. Removed it and compared it to the one on the 29 and it had more aggressive pitch. Installed it on the 29 problem. solved. I told you this because if you have cracks in the head you may have a heating problem One Hupp guy helping another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
