Re: Idle temp
i was overheating, boiling, steaming and so on with a used radiator i had bought. there is only one radiator shop near where i live and they have a questionable reputation so i decided to try it myself. i ran across a you tube video on "redneck " radiator cleaning and thought that's me. i have done my own plumbing for years and am well aquainted with soldering. i spent the better part of a day removing the top tank, rodding and flushing the tubes until i got good flow. you wouldn't believe the crud that washed out.( i can imagine someone dipping creek water to fill the radiator, leaves tadpoles etc.) i resoldered the tank using radiator solder and liquid flux. i've now got an engine that doesn't overheat.
