[TR] TR3 Heater leak test

[Carl TR]

Found a great radiator shop here in Tampa.  They did a pressure check on all
three cores I had.  Two - no leaks at all; the third - well - it will cost
about 40-60 to fix but not needed right now.  I'll set it on the shelf for
later thoughts.   This results in two complete heater units - one with a
brand new motor and the other a little 'tired'.  

Today it goes to its new 'home' and then the dash, gauges and all of the
electrical connections.  All have been tested both in/out of the dash.   It
really is getting closer and closer....

Thanks to all who offered suggestions.
Carl

I need to test the heater core before I install it.   Any do's don'ts?   Is
there any issue with hooking up a hose to both sides and let water flow
through?  I would think that it shouldn't be 'closed' at the other end
because I believe the pressure would be too high.

Thanks
