can anyone tell me why i have some smoke coming out of my koyo radiator? it’s new. thanks!
It’s new…
make sure your coolant is topped off, take it out and rag on it for a while… .get her nice and hot… let it burn off any flux left from welding the aluminum, check for leaks, check coolant level
everything should be good after you’ve heat cycled it a few times.
if you fully drained out all the coolant, you will need to fill it all back up again, like all of it, air bubbles are there, the coolant pathways of the block can leave bubbles, so let her runn, stop wait for her to cool down, and start shaking tubes (lighty do not rip them off), and just watch, if the resivour is dry fill her up again. It took me 2 weeks after my swap to get all of the bubbles out. … You can ask mike, adam (shift_sr20det), joshyo and others about me freaking out at driftnation because coolant was disapearing and i had a 2 hour drive to get home. There is a process to bleed the coolant to get it completly filled, i just waited it out filling it up when it went low.
