up-dated radiator

last weekend i took my bugeye out for the BEAT..british-european auto tour in arizona...there was another bugeye along which had a Speedwell radiator...i can't seem to find this product and wondered what new style radiators are being used by this group...also the correct size demensions would help also...cheers
 
Re: up-dated radiator

thanks for the link...currently when i hit the long flat stretches the temp climbs perhaps i need a 2nd fan any ideas about keeping things cooler
 
Re: up-dated radiator

A fan will not help when you are at speed (only idle). I'd give the system a good flushing and see if that doesn't solve your problem. Also, make sure you are not using too much antifreeze.
 
Re: up-dated radiator

I love my Geo Metro radiator. Never over 170* and it's smaller than a stock Spridget radiator.
Best $20 I ever spent at the junkyard.
But get the rad from an automatic tranny Metro, the sticks use a taller rad.

I put in a 160 deg. summer thermostat. Did wonders for cooling my engine down, It barely gets out of the blue area now
 
Re: up-dated radiator

Ever since my engine was rebuilt (complete with hot-tanked block, etc), I've never had any trouble (short of when the coolant runs low) of overheating. I think flushing is the best solution for starters.
