Jim Saraceno Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Ed, I picked up my cleaned out radiator from the shop a week ago. Yesterday I re-installed it. When I got back from my test drive I realized I hadn't redone the flow test like you asked. Duh! My bad. Sorry about that but when your my age and you don't write it down somewhere, you're not going to remember to do it. Heck, even if you do write it down, you may not remember to look at the list and still forget it! I'm truly sorry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 actually the radiator shop should have flow tested the radiator and given you a GPM capacity..anything less is just a walked through procedure and lip service..

Jim Saraceno Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 The test drive went fine but I won't know for sure whether or not we have solved the problem until next summer when the temps get back up to the upper 80s. As far as a certified CFM, that was never really discussed. What he did was to flow water through the radiator then check it with a infrared temperature sensor looking for cold spots. He then boiled and flushed it out until they all disappeared. Happy Birthday to Jipjobxx and Tim! Now it's my turn, today is my birthday! BTW... What is an electroically test?
