Well my radiator is in today. It should be the missing piece to the puzzle of getting my TII on the road. Please pray for me that it is. My mechanic is going to pressure test the system after he puts it on. If its all good my TII will be on the road today and running cooler than every. Pray for me!!!

Why didn't he pressure test it to begin with?

Ryde _Or_Die

He did but it failed because my radiator leaked. Now hes going to do it again with my new radiator on.

Felix Wankel

Yeah, the plastc endtank stock POS radiators suck.

Ryde _Or_Die

Have you prayed yet?!?

Felix Wankel

I think that will fix it. I doubt your rebuild has a pinched coolant seal. About the only other place that coolant can seep out, besides the waterpump you just had replaced and the radiator you're about to replace, is the filler cap on the thermostat housing. The plastic gets old and tends to crack.

Ryde _Or_Die

Thats good to hear. I really hope that this fixes it. Are radiators supposed to be this light? Or is it because its all aluminum? I think its got to be lighter than the stock one, but maybe not since I never felt it.

It's light cause there is nothing in it. The stock rad probably had some residual coolant in it, making it heavy...
