Temme Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I recently purchased a 1929 Buick Business Coupe when going through the vehicle I discovered that the car has a badly cracked head that has been welded and still leaking antifreeze. So I am in need for a used head for this Buick any information would be appreciated. I'm attaching a photo of my 1929 Buick I want to keep it original if possible, it is to pretty of a car to give up on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temme Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 I was asked to post some more photos of my 1929 Buick Business Coupe Series 116 Model 29-26. Purchased this car last fall was hoping to have some fun this summer going to some car shows but as nice as it looks I found some maintenance issues that needs to be fixed first. Maybe this fall or next year for sure. Thanks for all the help! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinmass Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Nice car. Do a valve job and guides on the replacement head before you pull your old one off. Have a gasket kit handy also. Don’t knurl the guides…..it will smoke. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temme Posted June 14 Author Share Posted June 14 Tom Beautiful four door sedan! Edinmass thanks for the information I will follow your advice. First time I've ever replace a head on a vehicle before, plan on taking my time and learn in the process. Thanks everyone for the help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 The valve job should include checking the gasket surface for flatness and truing it up if necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 If you need any additional help, send me a PM with your phone number and I’ll give you a call and can walk you through it It’s really a simple head to do The worst thing is picking it up over the fender I’m a big fan of finding a different head and rebuilding it so you can swap the head in one day it’s very easy to do 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
