I have started the disassembly of the TR3 to determine what went wrong in
May at ECR. Last night after removing the radiator, I flushed it with the
garden hose and found enough rust particles to cover the bottom of a jam
jar. I use an aluminum radiator so my thinking right now is that these
particles must be from the liners. The radiator also has a coating of oily
gunk presumable from one of my head gasket failures in past race weekends.
So I have two questions for the group:
1) What is a good chemical treatment for flushing oily residue from
the alum radiator?
2) Who are the current sources for good quality liners?
I am sure I'll have more questions once I pull and disassemble the engine.
Thanks,
Greg
