Rave reviews from race and road users for keeping the engine at correct temperature regardless of use or weather conditions. Gary from our Potters Bar branch/shop has one on his 8 port road car.
Advantages of this radiator are-it is greener for the environment to produce, better thermal performance, corrosion resistance, strength and durability.
Use distilled water for these radiators to stop galvanic corrosion caused by cast iron engine components such as water pumps, engine blocks, cylinder heads and some thermostat housings. This reaction to alloy is known as galvanic corrosion which can build up using ordinary water.
This is a great option for a std radiator but has proven to be very good on our cars including Garys road use 8 port head car plus a few racers also now.
Water boils at 212F and when under pressure it can raise by 3 degrees for every pound of pressure. Never let your car run at to cool a temperature!
The higher the pressure cap the hotter the water has to get to boil.
We suggest using a small amount of grease applied to the filler neck for easy removal and fitting, plus fitting a 15lb radiator cap
GRC1110.
Why are old radiators black? Keith Dodd says early car producers and BMC found black paint on copper dissipated heat the best and stopped them from going green and looking unsightly.
Not suitable for 1976 Australian minis where hose positions are different, the picture shows outlets in original UK and USA positions.
