    Freakin' water outlet won't seal!

    OwdKasd, You're too right, it shouldn't be a problem at all! All thing's considered, the radiator cap relief valve pops open at arround 0,4-0,6 Bar, which isn't moch of an over-pressure compared to.. well anything! What sort of housings have you done up? Any of those cheapo pot-metal...

    Freakin' water outlet won't seal!

    Ok, surfed arround a bit, found the torque for the bolts to be 15 ft-lb, torqued up, re-filled coolant, and went for a drive. No sign of any leakage. So far, so good! :blob: I'll probably get back on this thread after having driven for some weeks or months, just to confirm that it's holding up!

    New 4-row rad in '71 Dart

    I was thinking about the 3-row first, but then went for the four row, just to be 100% sure that I was covered in case I do some serieous power upgrades in the future, e.g. a new hemi swap. I must admit I assumed that the 4-row radiator was the same thickness as the 3-row, so good thing for...
