Motometer question

[coupe1942]

May sound a bit silly to ask, but none of my previous Model A's had a motometer on the radiator like this one does. I know how to open it up to refill the radiator, but I didn't want to force anything and I have not removed the unit completely to see inside the radiator for what I want to view there.

I don't want to pull the shell in order to determine if I have a 2 row or 3 row radiator and I didn't want to break anything in trying to remove the radiator cap to see inside.

Am I being just too cautious or how exactly does one remove the entire unit from the radiator for viewing? It is a stock, round motometer and not the quail. Not the best photo of it, but all I have at present.

Thanks for any info or tips.

Flip the Motometer cap up and you will see the two Allen screws that hold the cap to the neck.
Most radiators have a baffle above the core so looking into the neck you will not see the tubes.

Thanks for the info. Is there any way then to tell if the radiator is a 2 row or 3 row without pulling the shell off?

Glad I didn't force things without asking, first.

Just look through the fins and you can see if it's a 2 row or a 3 row.
