New Radiator
Posted: Fri Oct 24, 2014 2:18 am
The new Behr radiator arrived today, and I thought I would inspect before installing it. I noticed that there are wavy plastic pieces tucked into the cooling tubes. It seems like this would limit the flow through the tubes, but maybe they are there to create some sort of swirl in the tube or maybe prevent cavitation?
I had never actually looked inside of a "modern" radiator before, so this may be completely normal.
Will be tackling the installation of this, the water pump, and some hoses this weekend. I'm really tired of the coolant leaks that keep cropping up on this old beast.
