Hello, everyone.
While I am not fond of being taken for a ride (as in duped), it is my hope
that I generate enough respect in people that at least they feel the need to
engage in some subtlety about it.
After three months Merrill's Radiator Shop called me to pronounce my heater
core toast, that it was completely blocked to water passage. They offered to
replace it for $650. I e-mailed this list with my woe...and suspicion, since
cores list for $400 in Moss and go used for less than a quarter that on
e-bay.
I picked up the heater core yesterday and did my own examination. It
immediately passed rusty water, albeit slowly and with some scales. But after
5 minutes of back and forth flushing with hot water, water was blowing clean
through the passages with no hint of an obstruction.
So, since they didn't paint the radiator either, anybody know of a good paint
for these things?
And how do you get the electric motor out?
