How are micro bore pipes connected to radiators?
Special radiator fitting may be used so that both the feed and return micro bore pipes are connected to the same end of each radiator (as upper 2 radiators in the illustration). Alternatively, the pipework may feed into into the two ends of the radiators (as lower 2 radiators in the illustration).
Where are the radiators located on a Camaro?
The stock LS radiators have both inlet and outlet passages on the passenger’s side of the engine. While you can route hoses to the driver’s side of the engine, it’s difficult to package all the components when running non-stock hose routes.
How big is the pipework between a radiator and the manifold?
The pipework between the manifolds and each radiator is normally kept below 5 metres. Special radiator fitting may be used so that both the feed and return micro bore pipes are connected to the same end of each radiator (as upper 2 radiators in the illustration).
What should I do if my radiator hose connector is broken?
Clean the entire surface of the radiator with a water hose, checking for other leaks while the radiator is out of the vehicle. Remove any debris from the area of the broken hose connector. Sand the entire area, paying particular attention to the broken surfaces. Heat the two broken surfaces of the hose connector with the air-free plastic welder.
What do I need to cap a radiator port?
Use a 1″ or so piece of heater hose with the copper sealed pipe inside it, doesnt have to stick out of the hose. Two clamps and done. Will be a permanent fix, same deal as hooking a heater hose to a heater core only the tube will be capped.
Where does the coolant go on a cross flow radiator?
Then just run the hose from the port up to the upper radiator hose. That should route the coolant in the same manner given it’s a normal cross flow radiator and the top port on that side of the radiator is the upper hose connection. Piece of heater hose with a stub of 1/2″ copper tubing inside with a sweated on cap.
Where does the coolant cap go on a radiator?
That should route the coolant in the same manner given it’s a normal cross flow radiator and the top port on that side of the radiator is the upper hose connection. Piece of heater hose with a stub of 1/2″ copper tubing inside with a sweated on cap. The Coolant Level Sensor goes in there.
How is the radiator connected to the engine?
It consists of an upper tank and a lower tank and between them a core. The upper tank is connected to the water outlet or outlets from the engine jacket by a hose pipe, and The lower tank is connected to the jacket inlet through the water pump. The core is a radiating element, which cools the water. The radiator is a pretty simple device.
