Hi, I helped a friend install a built 327, 375Hp V8 in a 75 914, Renegade Kit (including Radiator) , They have been very helpful!!!!! We can't solve the radiator leak problem. We have installed extra grounds on engine(thought the water was positively charged). I believe 3 radiators have been in and out of the six times(starting to lose count). The guy's at the radiator repair shop call Him by my first name. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) What radiator works or what do think is the problem is??????

So what is done to repair the leaks? What is the condition of the radiator new or used? The Renegade radiator is aluminum so internal corrosion is possible. If leaks are appearing from just the radiator, then it is suspect. If it's electrolysis, the aluminum pump could be corroded as well. You should be able to measure resistance...
I've seen virtually every radiator work in a V8 914. It just takes correct flow and heat exchange rate, and no air pockets. This fellow who had the apparent electrolysis problem ordered a replacement directly from Ron Davis (Renegade supplier) and gave him sizes and hose specs (exactly like the Renegade). Ron cannot sell the Renegade rad but if you gave hims specs, he'll fill it... |
