Back to the matter of using Distilled Water.  I discussed this comment =
with my German/American friend who was installing a aluminum radiator in =
his Lagonda Drop Head Coup.  He has owned various European Vehicles with =
aluminum radiators, and classic cars with aluminum radiators.  He cannot =
understand the need for distilled water if you are using antifreeze =
which includes anti-corrosion additives or using such additive =
separately.  Furthermore, the biggest problem with alloy radiators is =
the matter of a good grounded engine.  His experience the failure of the =
alloy radiator is a poorly grounded engine which causes the electric =
current to run to ground via the water in coolant system  hence destroy =
the aluminum being dissimilar metal.   So check the soundness of the =
ground.

" If you are installing a alloy radiator be sure and use Distilled =

The water flows thru the radiator top to bottom. It flows thru the =
heater from the lower hose thru the heater returning to the head.=20

=20

Water will not flow backwards thru the heater valve.

Subject: [Healeys] Radiator flush

=20

Hello all,=20

Preparing to install my alum radiator. Thought I would flush the cooling =
system.

Which diretion direction does water flow? From block though=20
Shut off vavle into heater core, or through pipe and back into block =
through the shut off valve?

Is my valve in open ir closed position? Heater controls not reinstalled =
yet. Unit get hot so Ill asume open, but want to confirm. Removed =
thermostat to help water flush ststem easier. Im going to add extra hose =
and splice in a water hose bib. That way I can remove it and put system =
back in place.

Im off this week, but the rain gods are laughing at me. So I'm just =
getting everything ready for the sweet spot of having time and sunshine =
so I can back the car out of the garage and flush the system. I plan to =
drain the anti freeze and fill with flush chemicals and water when I'm =
ready to flush. Bought new anti freeze for my new radiator.

Driving season is fast approaching.

Happy roads and saftey fast
