Aluma seal or bars leaks ? ? ? ?

Got the OE radiator installed.
Put the aluminum rad in the box that the oriellys unit came in. Sealed it up.
Checked all fluid levels then also remembered that the WW reservoir was leaking.
Removed it from under the battery.
I must have jiggled enough compknents that the pump grommet stopped leaking.
I thought sure it would be a cracked tank so one of those will be here tomorrow. Its suppose to have all the grommets with it.
For $55.00 guess I’ll poke a new reservoir at it. 😹😹😹
 
Yeah, I didn't look at the overall size. we would need to measure ours to see which one fits best. I would assume the larger one.

Honestly for core rows, I can see where the difference between 3 and 4 could be negligible on cooling performance, being more are stacked and more air flow would be needed to cool. our rigs already have more stacked in there with the condenser and oil coolers. it might not make that much difference between the two or might actually hinder the cooling performance with the 4th core. I'm no expert but there would be a point were more rows could cause cooling issues.
 
I looked at that copper/brass radiator for the BB enjun.
Thought that was mighty impressive and would sure be a good edition,
the extra radiator cap would be an added bonus.
I also think that the brass and copper might provide better cooling capacity, but, I know I might be wrong on that too.
I’m not sure about the other two plugged ports, if they would be in a proper location for the by pass hose and the other one for the heater hose might be too small for these Montana winters.
Larger nipple could be added by unsoldering the installed port and soldering in a fitting that the proper size barb tite could be screwed into.

Are there any custom radiator shops anymore?

There used to be one in Bradley, Illinois.

L & G Radiator & Alignment

 
I found one online that does custom rad's but they listed a copper/brass one for our rigs priced at $1700+ I can't see that kind of cost for our rigs. although they did offer a 5 year warranty on their products.
