Well the engine in his garage is not a "high horsepower 521." My 521 is not a "high horsepower 521" by todays standards and the components are much much better. I also dont have a single cooling issue with a similar setup. - just sayin'


If all you want is an aluminum radiator but one from any of the several suppliers given or a direct bolt in from either ebay or JBG but it will not automatically fix problems. I know for a FACT that if your engine build, tune timing and cooling SYSTEM(not just the radiator) is in good shape and properly functioning you will not having cooling issues with your engine.


most often in mechanics you dont need to look at the part giving you trouble....you need to look at the part directly before the part giving you trouble and work backwards from there.
