I just thought maybe an increased duration of driving might have also suddenly occurred. Your suggestions are definitely the first things to Mon, 20 May 2013 19:37:23 GMT Steve Carroll http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Crosley/message/3566 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Crosley/message/3566 Robert, Can i remove those side panels and get in there to clean the poop out with the engine still in the car?

Likely the radiator in your case. ...

I have blasted a mess out of derelict blocks, but I am responding to the Crosley Cat who had a sudden attach of overheating. ...

I don't remember any shrouds at all. The car is over at mr remote garage, so I can't pop out right now and check. Do you guys sell Mon, 20 May 2013 00:24:08 GMT butch46988 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Crosley/message/3560 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Crosley/message/3560 Has the car got the radiators shrouds (two pieces if cardboard, one on each side of the radiator) installed? These are a MUST to keep all of the air going Sun, 19 May 2013 23:28:58 GMT Steve Carroll http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Crosley/message/3559 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Crosley/message/3559 Hi Kenneth, The engine did sit for a while in the 60s- 70s, but for the past 15 years or so it has been driven some. Not a lot or for and distance. I'm sure Sun, 19 May 2013 23:23:44 GMT Steve Carroll http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Crosley/message/3558 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Crosley/message/3558 Thanks for the advice, Peter. I don't really know if it's a sudden change. I've only had the car about two months and this is definitely the warmest day that Sun, 19 May 2013 19:41:28 GMT Kenneth Cahill http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Crosley/message/3557 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Crosley/message/3557 If this is an engine that has been sitting a long time, the water jacket of the block could also be full of rust and other crud. The radiator could be blocked Sun, 19 May 2013 10:38:10 GMT Peter Berard http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Crosley/message/3556 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Crosley/message/3556 Insure the water pump is turning, i.e. belt properly tensioned and the rubber coupling behind the generator in good shape. I'd check the thermostat first. Sat, 18 May 2013 19:22:16 GMT Steve Carroll http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Crosley/message/3555 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Crosley/message/3555 Went to a car show today. Temps high-mid 80's. maybe 5-20 min drive. Temp went way up. To the H in Hot. Topped off radiator, but did the same on way home.
