10 NOV 2024 - Radiator replaced
Today, the radiator was replaced with a stock unit that I happened to have on hand. Hopefully it will last.
Today the coolant level was filled and run tested in the garage, through three sessions. Each session was 20 minutes of warm up and topping the coolant level in the radiator. The third session didnt require any coolant. Checked for leaks and currently everything looks good for a test drive.
I still need to purchase parts to install the aluminum radiator. I have the radiator transmission line fittings. They are 1/8" NPSM to AN6.
I need to determine the length of the braided hoses to use for the transmission. I will have to cut the steel lines that connect from the transmission to the radiator.
I will need to use a thinner water pump fan spacer. The stock one is too thick.
