Re: Radiator

[mark krawczuk]

hi, i have a  3 core radiator , 68 cm by 44 cm. the bar that sits under the radiator  and joins the front  bit was cut out and replaced with some 3 by 2 rhs. and  a little extra was  cut out. it sits around 85 c on the gauge,  (the temp reading on the digitech fuel comp shows it  about 8 degrees cooler again) , but   is a lot cooler than that,  when the guy had it on the dyno , the temp  seemed   sorta high,  but when u felt the  radiator hoses it was warm ,  and no where near the temp on the gauge.   due to my  crossflow head on it , both inlet and outlet water connections are on the same side, i thinkthat i might have to change position of temp sender, or put one in the  radiator.     the radiator i   think    is from a commodore, i cut it up, and soldered it up my self.    if you send me a email address  i can send you a couple photos of the radiator etc,.,.....   you can always get a bit of exhaust pipe to use to help to make different radiator hoses, just cut the  rubber hoses  up end clamp the ends on the pipe.    mark k ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Simpson To: ozdat Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 8:04 PM Subject: Radiator g'day all,   Im running astroker 2.4L L20 and im having cooling probs, looking for some help from those in the know!   With the L16 there was never even a hint of a problem, even thou the rad isnt that flash.  Now i could get it recored to a 3 core but the 3rd core will never work aswell, so im thinking that wont solve all the problems.   What have others done with stroker motors running hot?   How well does the N13 rad line up with the L series hoses?  This may be my only option although i'd like to keep the std look   THanks in advance   CHris S --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
