D318 pony

head gaskets should solve it, i have a d6 that does the same thing on the same thing n the same cylinder, i just leave the petcock open to make sure it doesn't accumulate and rust the cylinder.

I have a 12 blade that has a small coolant leak too. I will openly admit that I have procrastinated in replacing the head gasket. I do make sure the draincock is open so it doesn’t fill up the cylinder and do more damage. Just be sure to have it open to clear anything, as antifreeze doesn’t burn too well; I crank the pony a round or two until I hear it pop, then close the valve. Runs good otherwise. JM

Thanks guys.Any ideas on sources for parts here in Canada?

Finnings !! or local aftermarket parts place ..

When I have warped pony heads I flatten them on the surface grinder. Have it checked when you go for the new gasket.

most simple thing is to re-check the head bolt too see if there tight? i think where to be in the 80 foot/ lb ' rage that just off the top of my head i would look it up first.

Thanks Mog . ill start there. I put the old girl to work today ,years of not being working and idling made for a shower of oil slobber. I hope that quits with some load on the engine.
