Ok so here it goes...I have 1935 ford 5 window coupe that has been sitting for about 20 years. I've just started to work on the motor and there are a few things that I need some advice on : I just removed the radiatior so I can get it recored.Once I pulled the radiatior off I noticed that there was this rusty green sludge that was coming out of the block from the bottom where the two radiator hoses are...is there any way to get all that sludge out and to flush the block out that's fairly easy??? Also I've just pulled the gas tank to get it boiled out & I'm going to be replacing all of the lines. I know that I have to flush all the fluids in the motor such as the engine oil and tranny oil. Is there any specific method I should use??? I was thinking that to flush these fluids, I should drain them first and then fill it up with new fluids again...let the sit for a while and then drain and refill them again. Does that sound like the right thing to do??? I was talking to my buddy over the phone and he told me that based on the way I described the motor to him, I should just go and get the motor rebuilt or at least have the motor dissasembled, boiled out, have the bearings replaced, and have the seals replaced. I'm not sure if this is good advice or not and I don't have alot of cash to throw @ doing unneccesary stuff. For right now I just want to get the motor running so that it's reliable. I don't want to start the motor and throw a rod and mess stuff up that wasn't already bad. Any advice would help. Thanks!
