Default Re: '35 Radiator / water out the tube

The washers are an old time "trick".


You want as much flow thru the radiator as possible. Do you have a temp gun?? My flathead drops about 35+ from top of rad to the bottom, NO stats.

A recovery tank is just that, it recovers fluid that's overflowed. In a closed pressurized system (doesn't have to be much), after shutdown, as it cools, the liquid gets sucked back into the radiator. JMO
