Re: Radiator Rodding Out
Quote:
I still want to save this radiator, which is out of the car while the engine is being rebuilt, mainly because of its original appearance - curvy fins and all. I do have a couple of junk radiators to practice on and will make a go of this project. Thanks to all for the thoughts and suggestions. |

Re: Radiator Rodding Out
I had my radiator rodded many years ago, and was told then to find someone who is experienced at it. I found an older gentlemen who had retired, but still repaired radiators out of his garage shop. Mine had about 25 tubes clogged and he was able to clean out all but 3 or 4, and my radiator then cooled just fine. If it is truly clogged rodding is likely the only way to successfully clean it.
