Default Re: Heater core leak

When I bought my '46 Coupe ten years ago, it's general condition was very good. However, being an untrusting soul and longtime mechanic with lots of experience in leaking radiators and heaters, I pulled both and sent them out for cleaning and pressures testing. I also replaced the rad and heater hoses, as they were "baked". It took about fur hours all in, to r&r, refill the coolant and leak check. Better to do a proper fix, than one that may fail in the short term
