Thanks for all the advice Ian, I'll find out how it goes tomorrow as I'm moving the car out to storage

I'm hoping it's not head gasket failure, when it was last used 3 years ago it had a new unleaded had fitted as they original leaded head had a crack in it. I did drain the rad with top and bottom hoses off, I think the heater was on. What's is the process for filling the cooling system to clear airl...

What part is not making sense? I've flushed the cooling system checking for blockages, all clear.
Removed the stat to aid with overheating.
Yet still when the engine is idling at normal on that temp gauge the radiator is blowing Steam and water out.

Week is been 3 years since I got the B out the garage. 3 hours to get it running the pooof, steam venting from the radiator cap.

There listing exchange heads for £495 inc vat plus fitting If repairing the existing head is such a pain I'll probably go wi...

My 67 roadster has its original cylinder head still on it, although rebuilt about 20years ago. The head has got a hairline crack which has been liquid metal sealed. Due to my lack of use the car hadn't been run for 12 -18 months and when I finally got it started and warmed up a valve stuck and bent ...

Just found this forum and thought I'd say hi.
