This radiator is off a 48 Ford with a 289 , I’ve covered this long ago but once again this is how to clean a radiator properly, you can acid dip it and flush for days but it won’t come clean unless you pull the tank off the core and push a rod thru all the tubes as the photo shows , hence the term rod out because you use a physical rod. All early small block Fords have a bad problem developing this blockage , the engine block builds slag and solids and also maybe some casting sand when assembled breaks loose and turns the radiator into a big filter . The last photo is the completed part of course

Big money Ron Davis radiator for a corvette with three out of the four corners leaking , I get these all the time no matter the manufacturer. Tube to header leaks , dealing with 5 thousandth aluminum tubes to at least 20thdth header plate with a dirty surface where it has been leaking . Mini bead blaster , hi-grade cooling system epoxy, a little time and work , it can be saved

1929 model A Town Sedan , survivor , was able to rod out the radiator and flush the engine , the picture of mud is what I removed from the top tank of the radiator

Good account I have H&H flatheads built this car and have won the famous race of gentlemen two years in a row now and couldn’t have done it without my custom radiator Marvels mystery oil is a sponsor

Did the radiator for this , 1955 Jaguar, for one mr Big Dog himself. Edit 5/14/20 , Jays mechanic Bernie told me this is the only one of its kind

Picked up Jay Leno’s account , 4th or 5th job now , this one is a 39 MGTA radiator , for a new core , thank you Jay

Did these two days in a row last week.The top water pump is an 08 Dodge 1500 5.7 Hemi and the lower an 012 Ford F-150 5.0 . Both were leaking and both have plastic impellers which is ridiculous

Sweet LS powered Vette Tested and charged the ac as someone is currently building this car

That folks is one of an air conditioning repairman's worse problem , stop leak inside a system . Do not use stop leak to seal a pressurized gas leak ! as well as it compromises the entire system

Quite possibly the ugliest car made Edsel front end on a Ranchero
