Radiator out ?
Posted: Tue Aug 07, 2012 10:17 pm
Please excuse what may be a niaive question but am finding my way around the just-purchased MidasMk 3 convertible (that has been standing for years (literally).
Rework : Have just started into coolant system and am appalled at condition of some - thermostat outlet elbow dissolved to powderin my hand. A quick cold water flush of engine caused wife to go berserk at sludge trail on drive ! Loads of sludge/grit/rust in system.
Am concerned at condition of rad and heater matrix.Want to get both to Serck/Marston to check/pressure test. Have heater matrix stripped out - Radiator : can this be removed with engine in situ ? I suspect yes, probably quite awkward though ?
Any confirmation welcomed though.
Thanks
Allan
