Leaking Head Gasket?

Posted by SAm in NS on March 01, 2004 at 08:00:44 from (129.173.133.71):

I have a 53 Super A and I had the head off a couple of years ago and it hasn't been used very much since, until this winter. I'm beginning to wonder if the head gasket might be leaking. It overheats very quickly upon applying anything more than about 1/4 throttle or a heavy load. Also I'm getting little black spots all over the paint work. I can't see any bubbles in the radiator but with all the steam it's kind of hard to see anything. There also doesn't appear to be any great quantities of white smoke from the exhaust. What causes the spots or are they normal? Also what else should I check? Thanks, SAm in NS
