My fears about the radiator were confirmed today when I made a stop at the engine shop to drop off the exhaust manifolds to have them checked. While there I talked to Rich from the radiator shop and he asked me to see him before I left. When I went over to see him, he had the top and bottom tanks off the radiator and we could plainly see that the core was plugged probably 40 – 50%.
At this point, I’m not taking a chance with it, can’t see the point of putting something like that in front of a new $3500.00 motor. Ordered a new core and he will put it back together like new using the old top and bottom tanks. I know I’ll feel a lot more confident when driving it down the road in the future.
