Anti Freez in my 1953 jubilee air filter


Water can get in there pretty easily, but I don't see how coolant would. How do you know that it is anti-freeze?
 
If it stopped running with a ""BANG"" it needs to be taken apart it may have dropped a valve and driven it into the piston and
cylinder head breaking the head and allowing pressurized coolant into the combustion chamber and then into the intake system with
force. That is a bad reality. If a hose blew and squirted coolant into the intake, not so bad. Jim
 
When it stopped running, what else happened?

Knocking?

Exhaust smoke or steam?

Will it still turn over?

Have you checked for coolant in the cylinders? Crankcase?

For antifreeze to have gotten in the air cleaner something unusual had to have happened...

Yes, I could see coolant getting from the cylinder to the intake manifold "with force" and an intake valve stuck open. However, from the intake manifold, down through the carburetor and up the air intake tube and down into the air cleaner, that is not reality. For a hose to blow at the front of the motor and have the coolant squirt out around the motor and back to the air intake at the back would take a miracle.
