Cleaning the car's radiator or part of the car's water tank

[@louiskats5116]

G'day from Australia, Wow this brings back so so many memories. My dad started a radiator repair shop in 1986 in North Melbourne called " Arthur's Radiators " kept it open for 30 years & closed it his 78th birthday. Myself & my 2 brothers worked countless summer school holidays pulling radiators out of taxis & customers cars & doing repairs, flushing, acid dipping, & all the flux work. Copper core radiator's easy to repair time after time & good money when you scrap them & a good living in it. Then came the cheap fully assembled aluminium radiators from China & that changed the whole radiator game overnight. Plastic tanks didn't help either. What the average punter doesn't realise with a copper core you can at least repair it if you got a hole, unfortunately with aluminium core radiators you get a pin hole you throw it away the whole radiator & replace it with a whole new radiator & bloody expensive. Yes a dying art copper core radiator's the last radiator my dad build was for my 1970 VG Valiant a 3 core radiator, heavy duty air conditioning spec. Thanks for the memories Cheers Louis Kats 👍

This is everlasting radiator, its covers are made from brass or copper. Most of modern radiators from modern disposable cars have covers from plastic and sealant from piece of rubber.

[@hakhang1]

Yes, copper radiators are strong and durable. Unlike radiators made of plastic and aluminum, thank you. For watching the video, comment.

[@Z-Ack]

Never seen a plastic radiator.. they make plastic covers that shroud the radiators but never the part that does the heat exchange.. copper is a much more durable and less likely to oxidize and deteriorate than aluminum though yes.. but is also more expensive.. the main issue with radiators is the galvanic corrosion from dissimilar metals along with using more and more corrosive antifreeze and additives in the cooling system and using internal parts that end up breaking down and clogging up the system such as this radiators demise was. All the rust from the metals in the other parts of the system clogged it up.. that wasent dirt.. iron oxide.. but copper radiators havent been produced since the 1950’s.. aluminum ones are fine and would last just as long as long as manufacturers didnt include steel or iron parts on them or in the system. Even using iron or stainless steel screws to mount them will cause it to corrode and kill them..

[@uroskostic8570]

this rust occurs when people put tap water instead of proper antifreeze and demineralized water . Changing antifreeze every two years will prevent this. Dont do this with naked hands, it will harm your skin. Use gloves/@@hakhang1

Nice job. I have just done exactly the same thing with my 1948 Fergie tractor radiator. One extra tip it you are worried about melting the core of the radiator, before you start with the oxy torch ( it has to be a flame that is really hot ) fill the radiator up with water until the water level is just at the top of small inner tubes, then start unsoldering the top with the oxy torch. This will stop the solder on the smaller tube melting. Good luck.

[@hakhang1]

Thanks for the tip!

[@gregs7519]

Great job on that radiator work! I love old radiators that had copper end tanks. They could be repaired and would basically last forever if cared for. When the plastic radiators started appearing, there was a transition period of time when often times you had the choice between an all metal radiator and a plastic one when buying a new radiator. I always opted for the metal one whenever possible.

[@hakhang1]

Thanks for the info!

[@tekboyg]

Lovely work! Love watching that solder flow!

[@hakhang1]

Thank you very much!

[@michaelXXLF]

That's why you run 'anti-freeze' all year round. It protects your radiator on the inside.

[@hakhang1]

Yes thank you very much

[@quyle9483]

Could be that electrolysis exist...

[@gteixeira]

Why would anyone remove the anti-freeze at the end of the winter? I have never heard anyone doing that.

[@SouthJerseyBaitReviews]

in some countries that stay warm but are kinda poor or don't have the means to get anti freeze. They just use water with a slight amount of anti freeze or none at all and just use water but. Antifreeze causes rust and oxidizing as well in ur radiator. @@gteixeira

Never use tap water on a radiator, it will destroy it.

Amazing work! I used to work as a forklift mechanic and we had a lot of rather old engines in some of them, for which spare parts are scarce. We often had to find so workarounds but still I've never seen anyone take a radiator apart.

[@channell11]

It used to be a lot more common. Radiators were at one time all brass or copper, and coolant wasn't as good as it is now and the use of distilled water wasn't as common. Radiators would often get plugged with corrosion, dirt, and deposits. Given the cost of new it made sense to boil and rod them out if they needed it.

[@hakhang1]

Yes thank you very much😊😊😊

[@i_woke_up_in_a_new_buggati]

[@clayz1]

My uncle had Art's radiator shop in Seattle back in the 60's to the 80's. It was interesting to me that a radiator was a collection of lightweight copper pans and a core, all stamped sheet metal, then soldered together. Back then I had no idea. He fixed a core for my '67 Chevy utility truck by finding the puncture, pulling the radiator, taking it apart. Now there is access to each end of the core assembly. He soldered the ends of each tube that was punctured, thus plugging the leak. A lot of labor, but back then they still did that. Naturally it was a good fix. Cheers to all.

[@hakhang1]

Yes thank you very much

[@lpjunction]

Roughly 40 years ago, in some remote Chinese town, we chartered a bus to take us to a village on the opposite side of the mountain. The bus was an old model that needs a hand crank to start the engine. The route to the village went through some mountainous slopes, after running about half an hour the radiator got too hot, the bus driver decided to take the bus to service at a road side garage. The repairman's diagnosis was, radiator blocked. And then went through almost the same procedure as in the video. The size of the radiator is near the same, I remember the repairmen took a metal strip to clean off the dirt the same way as in the video, poke it in one after the other. There are many long tubes for the water to run through, all but two were blocked. After cleaning, the radiator was soldered back to its own shape and put back to the bus. On the way to this repair garage, is the interesting part: First, when we board the bus, the driver introduced a fat lady is his wife and she is traveling with us. After driving for some distance, the engine seems overheated. The driver stopped the bus for some inspection and then restart the bus. The fat lady took the hand crank and go to the front of the bus to do the cranking. Ok, now we understand why the lady is traveling with us. After traveling some more distance. The overheat happens again, the bus driver calm us that the situation is under control, may be the radiator is running low on water. So the lady took a small plastic bucket to a road-side creek to scoop up some fresh water for the engine. We thought this is handy, fresh water from the mountain. Then later in the repair shop, the repairman told the driver not to use road side water for the radiator. After the repair, the bus went smooth without any hiccup down the road. That night, the bus traveled non stop. Over the slopes, there were sheeps sleeping quietly, it could be viewed clearly under the full moon. The sky was so clear, the sky was full of stars.

I mean, if you're stranded or in an emergency, running it on spring water is better than no water at all. Just replace it with anti-freeze afterwards.

[@sh3nmei_226]

Because the water rusts the metal much quicker, that’s why using radiator fluid reduced the amount of rust produced.

Great job! The radiator looked fantastic in the end. However, it seems really labor intensive. I wonder if it would be almost cheaper to buy a new radiator.

I want to see the pressure test. No way that thing doesn't leak. People see a video like this and think any radiator can be rodded out when in reality if they are that dirty its pretty much the only thing keeping them from leaking and once you clean it out 95 percent of the time they are junk. Especially when you hold the torch flame towards the core of the radiator like that.

G'day from Australia, I am absolutely overwhelmed by all the questions. With Copper Core radiator's after all the work you spray paint them flat black apparently it is a paint that is for making the radiator match the radiator support panel from the factory being black but to deflect heat etc. With copper is that you can repair them time & time again little pin holes. Either you cut the tube & block it or repair it. Aluminium alot lighter but not as strong even little rocks kicked up from the road can easily puncher a Aluminium radiator compared to copper. Rather pay extra money & have copper over Aluminium any day for longevity. Hope this helps Cheers Louis Kats 👍

If I tried that tube clearing approach on any of the old Modine radiators I had over the years, the tubes would have ruptured. They were so thin, I swear the wall was no more than 5 thou.

Old or new cores you always block off the last 2 rows of tubes on each side. If it's going to leak later on that is normally the first place. The tube in the tank and fitting for the radiator cap should always be taken off and cleaned up and re soldered too.
