[Healeys] Aluminum Radiator

[Michael]

My experience with aluminium radiators has not been good with two failing, one
through cracking in the core and the second as a result of corrosion after 4
years of summer use.
Just sayin'.

On Wednesday, October 1st I installed an all aluminum radiator in my BN1 100.
On
Saturday, October 4th I went on a 200 mile plus journey from the valley floor
in
northern California up to 8500 feet elevation at the summit of Mount
Lassen and then back into the valley. The temperature in the valley
was about 95 degrees F and going up in to the mountains, I got stuck
behind a motor home and on a very twisty, steep, hot and slow road,
that's where I got my hottest, a little under 200 degrees! The rest of
the trip I ranged from 150 degrees to 190! I'm not even going to count
the 120 I got coming down out of the mountains!
All in all, it's the best thing I've ever done for my car. The
radiator was made by Wizardo;? out of New York, I got it off of eBay and
other
than
them sending me the wrong radiator to begin with, (which they did
straighten out), I would highly recommend their work and product. NFI,
just happy with what it's done to my car. Didn't have to change a
thing in the car and it bolted right in! Sweet!
