1957 Ford Ranchero Project (Part 3) "Fixing the Coolant Leak"

1 year ago

We tear down the front of the Ranchero's engine to repair the coolant leak. We find the thermostat bypass hose incorrectly installed and most likely the cause of most of the coolant leaking. It seems they used 3 different types of silicone and 2 different types of coolant. We remove the electric cooling fans and loosen the radiator so we can install a rubber membrane under it and test the horns, which we verify do work so the issue is either with the wiring or switch. We install the correct thermostat bypass hose on the correct ports and the water pump with new gaskets and silicone. We are getting close to being able to start the engine and see if we can get it to drive under it's own power. Thanks for watching!!!
