Hello all!<br /><br />Well, Spring has sprung and its time to start working on the old motor again to get it ready for summer.<br /><br />I've been having a problem with overheating in the upper rpm's. Turns out I've got some blockage in the water cooling system. a local mechanic suggested I check/replace the overflow valve located beneath the exhaust plate on the side of the motor. He said that this valve allows more water to flow through the engine in the upper rpm range. Well, the valve was so clogged up and coroded that I broke it just getting it out. It doesn't look too good inside at all. A ton of corosion and filth.<br /><br />So, can you guys help me map out the water cooling system so I can check for more restricted passages?<br /><br />How can I go about cleaning the water cooling system?<br /><br />Thanks for all your help!<br /><br />Patrick
