Radiator removal

Common problem with horizontal tubes on that radiator, it is easy to remove for a recore. Take the sump guard off, remove all the oil cooling lines from the radiator and tie them up high somewhere in the engine bay so you don't lose too much oil/transmission fluid. Drain the cooling system with the tap at the bottom left of the radiator, take the top and bottom hose off and the fan shroud and then after you have removed the fixings from the top of the rad it will come out easily.

Hi Griff you have the radiator out back flush the engiine block with the garden hose..be gentle with the heater tubes (low pressure).sediment collects in the water galleries like sand and will pass back into your rebuilt radiator if you do not flush...use Water Wetter as the additive along with antifreeze when you put the system back together...Note: if the engine got very hot flakes of limescale will come out during flushing use a clean container to collect the flush water...you will be surprised
