[Tigers] Re-coring

[Jeffrey Nichols]

"Looks like it is time to get the radiator re-cored. I am asking of any tips
in this regard. What works, should/can I get it done locally, or if there is a
 magic bullet lurking out there. I want to stay with a copper/original style
radiator, not an aluminum one. There is a local shop that could do the  work,
but I'd like to benefit from the accumulated wisdom of  you Listers."


I had a shop recore the radiator with an original type core.  When I bought
the car it used to dump rad fluid because 1/4 of the core was blocked.  Since
then, it has never over heated even during the Woodward Dream Cruise which is
coming up in a couple of weeks.   Look at the TE/AE web sites for a great
article on what works and doesn't work to cool your Tiger.  You will find the
simplest and cheapest mods have the greatest affect on lowering your cars temp
