David About 12 months ago I acquired a Ruby that had been stored for thirty five years, there is a lot about it in the archives under the heading' Barn Car" I took off the head and the sump, and cleaned out a lot of hardened gunge from the head, from the inlet to the oil pump, from the oil ways and various other places that would have caused major trouble on start up. Apart from oil ways I think that you will find that the Alum. water fittings are corroded and the water ways in the head and perhaps the rad are clogged with Rust. I strongly recommend that you at least take the head and sump off. regards Ron
