Rear Mount F**kn Radiators 2

aircrawler · Sep 4, 2007

ok people taking you advice here and checkin it all... Just orderd my restrictor kit it will b in friday aft. also got some advice from the boys at Pirate and a race shop here. You are all right..
without "purging correctly" which means u need to have a prge valve near or around the thermostat housing not puging correctly= "causes hot spots"
using purified water with minimum antifreeze= the better of the thermal transfer capabilities for a coolant combo. and more enviro friendly
cleaning out the system with an acid you can get from a autoparts store makes sure that that dam radiator is clean...
BUT this is where it can get complicated...The volume and speed of which the coolant system operates and gets its ability to create heat transfer IN the radiator is very high. It has been described to me as a fire hose hitting a brick wall. pretty pictue huh?
Which is why i wonder about the restrictor and worry about the pump? ANY MORE THOUGHTS HERE???? Is THere an inline helper pump ???

There are many inline pumps, Most are expensive. Is your rad inlet definately above the very top of the t-stat out? I have a short rubber hose(t-stat out) going to a hard line that goes into my frame, On top of the hard line is a rad drain so i can burp all the air out at the front. The rad inlet is only about 2 inches higher the the outlet at the engine. I have a spal fan with a loose fitting shroud moving air with the thermo switch mounted at the return line about 4 inches from the water pump so the fan will run the least. Having 12 gallons of water mixed with water wetter helps, althought you smell heat instead of coolant when you get a leak. I have a inline water pump that i never use, I dont need it.

The air pocket problem is an easy fix, just get a vaccum filler, mine cost me about $75 off the MAC truck

I might sell the elctro pump this winter when i go thru the rig. Its a dedenbear pump, Universal mount and is just under 300 bucks. Dont polish, I bet you have a clogged radiator.
