Radiator replacement options (ADVICE NEEDED) (4 Viewers)

[Marco Lau]

You bring up a good point about the shroud. The top two bolt hole tabs were broken on mine and I was limping along for years. My advice is to replace it before it becomes NLA!! Your theory about the tips slowly moving fwd and contacting the shroud makes sense. I need to look at my log book to see what oil I'm running, maybe 15k CST? Thankfully I don't have this contact, knock on wood!

It makes perfect sense. Look at the picture of the damaged alum. radiator and look at the damage and you can see the tip of the fan blades made contact with the fins, especially the in between the top tank and fins....
