Radiators!
Posted: Fri Oct 25, 2024 5:45 am
Our 1990 Vandura rehabilitation is going well. Been tolerating minor rad leaks but finally getting to that. While shroud was out went ahead and did the water pump. Anyway, bought a cheap aluminum with plastic case ends. Seems to be the new standard by many mfgs. First impression, inlet and outlet have no lip, and height between saddle mounts not quite standard, requiring some shimming. The greatest concern is the what-if the plastic cracks...I'd quickly lose a great volume of coolant, translating to overheating, and my good old 5.7 might be toast. Changed to a brass/copper 3 row. You gotta spend some money!!
