Question for you:

I'm going to rebuild the engine on my A. Wasn't going to bother but it turns out I use it to mow the yard a good but. It's got some pretty good blowby.

Anyway, before I tear into it I want to clean up the cooling system. Does the vinegar trick work with thermosiphon? Any harm to running her up to hot and then letting it sit a week?

not old.. but I have a few thermosyphon machines. I have fileld them with straight vinegar and warmed them and then let em set.. then backflushed the block. never had one blow up.

Vinegar works in any cooling system shoot even in the old steam heating systems in homes.

I can't think why it would not work. I would start it mid week too and get it hot. Might not do any good but it is surprising the gunk that will flush out.
