How about neutralizing the solution after the radiator is washed out? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | Take it off & send it to a radiator shop.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

They will clean the tubes (rodding, as they call it) better than by just soaking the radiator in a bath of some kind.

I went ahead and had my local shop instal a modern core that is much more effective than the old style, set me back 300 bones tho.

Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P
