    I’ll try that out! My hard line coming out the back of the engine block (between piston 3 & 4) is leaking pretty bad and leaves a brown from the coolant that got pumped through so I’m not sure if it’s just the dusty conditions I’m in or if the radiators rusted and turning the coolant brown. I think the owner before me only put regular water in it and not distilled.

    There are others showing the same radiator with higher feedback rating and ships from the US. Just trying to help.
