Possible Radiator Problem???

[loubob]

Stationary test did not go as planned. So, it's coming out and will be tested by a long time radiator guy IF I can get ahold of him.
I now seem to remember the first radiator guy cleaned the tanks but no rodding as he was afraid he would destroy the radiator.

Sometimes rodding and testing is not enough, they just plain get worn/aged out, loose fins and poor fin connection to the tubes. If you end up painting the old, do not apply a thick coat, just enough to cover. Thick paint affects dissipation/transference of heat to air. Some Barners










have been through the process of radiator flush/backflush/rodding, and either have had to replace the core or replaced the radiator.
