External Flushing Radiator Fins 8V92

[pattypape]

Rob,

My gennie radiator laying horizontal for more than 15 years
was cooling just fine. But on further inspection, it was loaded with
sediment and scaleing. I was amazed at the gunk/crud buildup inside
the radiator and the coolant was clean and clear.
The radiator shop replaced the core, all but the top and bottom
tanks. BB did some fabricating on the rad to match the cooling fan
and protector shield, Decided to fix the old rad, so all the bolt
holes and hoses line up correctly. My Radiator needed more than
an outside flush with a hose.
