MY FARMALL A RADIATOR KEEPS BOILING OVER AFTER THE ENGINE RUNS FOR A WHILE. THE OUTSIDE OF THE RADIATOR IS CLEAN, ALL ENGINE GASKETS ARE NEW.
I'M NOT GETTING WATER IN THE OIL. THE WATER IN THE RADIATOR DOESN'T APPEAR TO BUBBLE AS IF CYLINDER PRESSURE IS ESCAPING INTO THE COOLING SYSTEM. SINCE THERE IS NO WATER PUMP I CAN'T TELL IF THE WATER IS CIRCULATING OR NOT. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY CRACKS IN THE BLOCK OR HEAD.
MY MANUAL SAYS IT COULD BE LIME BUILD-UP, IF SO, WHAT WOULD YOU USE TO FLUSH THE SYSTEM AND MAKE IT RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR ANY COMMENT OR ADVICE.
