Re: fun day with un expected bonus
I bought a radiator at the swap meet at the Dearborn MARC meet last week that’s “HoneyComb” like that. The guy said it was a 28. I like the look.

It may be the right fit for a 28, but Model A's never came new with honeycomb radiators. |

Re: fun day with un expected bonus
Well the Price was right and it seems to work well so far. I still have the original and maybe at a later date I'll pick your brain on the procedure of this "rodding out".

Re: fun day with un expected bonus
rodding out cleaning the tubes at the rad shop pushing rods through the tubes cant do that on honeycomb

A rod will not pass from one end to the other because of the zig-zag, and the strip construction is prone to leak either in freezing - or simply "solder corrosion" of the joint which all 60-40 solders are prone to. I have had my honeycomb boiled out, created a few leaks in doing so, repaired the leaks, only to find a few more until it got set aside. Everything has a life - the honeycomb deserved a rest. I will give it credit though - even before boiling, the car never boiled over. Joe K

Re: fun day with un expected bonus
My original radiator is not a honeycomb,but does have a few leaks and i bet it could use a good rodding. So for now the honeycomb will do the job, until I can repair and rod out the original.
So while we have hijacked this thread is rodding just removing the tanks and running a rod through the tubes(like a gun barrel cleaning rod?) then replacing the tanks. |

Re: fun day with un expected bonus
i just used an industrial hot water pressure washer with chemical degreaser to clean a stock round tube 29 radiator,its amazing what backflushing will do,most radiator debris is a combination of rust and water pump grease,the hot water and chemical does the job. Original Ford radiators are remarkably heavier and more robust than some of the cheap reproductions out there,the funnel type top neck aides in thermosiphon water flow too,your biggest issue is fin separation from the tube,if you have alot of that you're done,its critical that the fin contacts the tube for heat transfer
