Morning from Lameroo South Australia this is my first post on this site I'm working on a friends 63 Studebaker, body and paint work etc.
Yesterday after standing for quite a few months we had to shift the car to my shed the day before engine started and ran perfectly , on the day we moved the car it ran ok getting it onto the trailer etc .
BUT when we unloaded it from the trailer it was running perfectly it then started discharging coolant at a steady flow from both exhaust pipes an engine was not missing and running evenly..
We go the car into the shed still with coolant discharging from both tailpipes.
We checked oil this showed that there was coolant in the oil and yet it was still running ok.
My question is as I don't know these motors is it possible form coolant to enter via gasket leak or welsh plug in the vicinity of the inlet manifold OR could it be BOTH head gaskets.
We have drained oil while engine was hot and intend to put flushing oil through motor to remove contaminated oil from engines lubrication system to prevent damage.
I look forward to your feedback .
Regards Allan
