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'd check the way the radiator is mounted in the car. It should be in some type of rubber mount.
Do the fans vibrate when they run, hit the core or out of balance? Where are the leaks, where the core is welded to the reservoir tank or in the core itself? Looking at the core can you see if any of the tubes look like they are expanded? Its hard to belief that you had this happen so many times. The Ron Davis radiator is as good as it gets. Bob... |
