It could be a head gasket. If it was, you should see some whitish milky substance on the underside of your oil filler breather cap and compression would be down on 2 adjacent cylinders. Also, you would be seeing white puffy smoke from your exhaust, at least on start up. It is not hard to pull the head, I would go ahead and take a look-see.

BTW - change the oil as well if it is a head gasket. It does not take much antifreeze to destroy main and rod bearing surfaces.

Good luck,
Dan

First off that would be called a 1948 8N first year of production of the 8N thats where the 8 in the name comes from. As far as the oil yep could be the head gasket or just plain years of build up. And yes I know they started building the 8N in 47 but there still a 48 LOL. Unless you have a 3 speed tranny then its a 2N

Ford built nearly 38,000 8N models BEFORE 1948. I've got a few early ones, one actually has a 4 speed, small bolt pattern on the back wheel, large on the front (2n style)... The serial number reads 8N*** which leads me to the conclusion that 47 8N is correct terminology.

Only correct if you also look at cars built in say oct but called the next year car. Even the title will say the next year and part are for the next year. Also a lot of the tractors in the switch over period had parts from both and or you have a mutt which is put back togeather from parts and never came that way new, there a lot of them out there.
