I took the Midget on its longest drive this evening since I cleaned the cooling system and changed the thermostat to a 160 degree one. I drove about 12 miles and everything was fine. Drove about 3 mo

OK. I have the cooling system fresh in mind. Looking at the engine from the front of the car. Lower right hand corner of the radiator. Big hose that goes to the right side inlet on the thermo housin

== David, Possibly a local repair shop can check the anti-freeze for HCs? I believe that's what they do when a gasket is suspect. Peter C.... back from vacation, AND a hiatus (that's Coloradan for "s

The easy driveway method to check for a head leak into the coolant is to remove the radiator cap, fill the rad all the way to the very top, start the motor and while gently goosing the throttle, look
