Radiator Cap Coolant Leak

Ive replaced the radiator cap 4 separate times with 4 different caps and have replaced the radiator its self. Coolant keeps leaking out of the radiator when the truck gets up to temp. It seems like it is leaking out of the cap and not pushing up into the coolant reservoir BUT when it cools down it seems to pull from the reservoir still. Is this a case where the OEM radiator cap is the only thing that should be used and the only thing that works? v

Rally Bug

Finally pulled the body off of the pan on my Stage Rally Beetle project. 1969 VW Beetle. The plan is do a full restoration and keep it air cooled to race in ARA and NASA Rally. Its a long way from hitting the stages right now but getting the body off is a huge step in restoring the pan and then the body. The plan for the engine is a 1776cc or 2110cc dual port depending on the final weight of the chassis.

1600 Dual Port

Picked this up on Facebook. I’ll probably use it as a core to build a 1776 or 2110 out of. There’s a lot of crank walk that I think is the bearing moving though so it may be a junk engine. Engine tear down will answer that eventually.
