Posted: Fri Aug 21, 2009 5:28 pm Post subject: Radiator Question |
|
|
So my radiator cracked and i'm installing my new one and i removed the a/c (which i already removed) evaporator from infront of it. I want to run my Maro without it being infront of my radiator so that it gets uninterupted air flow. but when i put the rad. in i noticed that it seemed to seat a little loose. so i'm wondering if the radiator would get too hot to use zip ties to secure it????
Any ideas??????  _________________

Rad is only secured with that top 4 bolt plastic piece.
Make sure each rad corner has it's respectful rubber pad.
No Zip ties. Don't ghetto rig. _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

| Sounds like you removed the AC radiator? If so, plug the gaps at the perimeter of the engine radiator with backer rod. It will keep a high pressure area at the front of the engine RAD while driving. Basicly stop the air from going around the RAD. |
