Start the car and get it warm. Open the hood and watch the lower radiator hose as you bring the engine
to 3 or 4 thousand RPM and see if the hose collapses.
Yes, you should glue a piece of black foam in the gap. The most important time to have all
of the air flow going through the radiator is when you're idling. When you're doing 45 or
so, there is enough air flow to keep things cool but when you're stuck in traffic you need
all the help you can get.
I like to use a gallon of ZEP calcium and rust remover and a little bit of water to top it off,
run it with the cap off until it gets warm and then drain it and flush it with water. When you
refill the system, use distilled water and anti freeze.
You can put a 20 blade fan on the engine, but ultimately it will be the thermostat's
opening and closing that will effect the cooling! I personally like flex fans because
they move alot of air, and they flatten out at high RPM and use less HP. Remember
to use a fan shroud! They work.
Not enough heat to travel up the motor shaft and melt anything, just enough to
expand the squirrel cage fit so it releases from the shaft! You can put an air nozzle
on the shaft to cool it down after trying. Heat it for twenty seconds, then cool it.
Try thirty seconds, then cool it. Heat IS...
No, I don't think we mean a little heat like in a hair dryer, we mean a nice oxy-acetylene
torch with a small tip and heat it quickly for about thirty seconds! That'll do it!
Great idea. I plan on buying a couple of Stainless steel nipples and doing the machine work on them to do what
you did. Hey, when it's yours you can do it!
Now the only advice I can give you is to glue the seal to the heater box with 3M weather strip
adhesive. After the glue sets up, rub a small amount of petroleum jelly on the face of the seal.
Install the box and then take off the grate so you can see up into where the seal is with a mirror.
Use...
yes, but don't use Silicone sealer. It'll only cause more problems. The factory uses studs
because the body of the stud is larger than the threaded portion. so it seals pretty good.
when using bolts, you have to use a good sealer like a Permatex product. I'm not sure
exactly which one. There's...
