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??????

I looked at the mounting again, and it was mounted a little firmer than I would have mounted it. but there was some movement. The radiator is mounted on foam rubber completely around it, and between the intake shroud. It always starts leaking after being driven a hour or two, where the coolant fins attach to the ends of the Radiator. I suggested Rubber mounting only the four corners. The car is very clean (no visible rust), I don't think the car is flexxing to much.
Please show me how you mounted your Radiators(pics & Info Please). Thanks Bill |
