Sierra Radiator?

Post by Dee 4x4 »

Hey guys.

My Sierra has a 4AGE 20v in it and recently the radiator has had more than a few leaks so I want to replace it. What I don't know is if what I have is the standard 1996 Coily radiator or if mine would be a 20v radiator.

So can anyone tell me if this is a Sierra radiator? If not, I'll assume it's a 20v one and I'll chase one of them down.

Cheers.

The VL Turbo 6 can be used in a Sierra with mods to the support bracket, but the v8 one looks like it might do the job for Dee

I would be tipping that a rad that can cool a turbo RB30 under a VL bonnet (not so great air flow under there) pulling a vehicle that weighs half as much again as a Sierra will be more than a match for a motor half it's size.

I think the V8 one with diag opposed pipes may work better for Dee after looking at his existing Radiator and the diagrams Nic posted.

Thanks for the help guys. I took it to a radiator guy today and he said that it's definitely customised one that has been cut down to that size so any replacement radiator would also have to be custom to bolt onto the existing mounts. I think I'll just use some metal epoxy to plug the hole and look at a better alternative when I have more time and money!

Cheers.

having your engine to cold is not always good
most engines have an Operating Temperature witch is around 80-89c i might be wrong but?
if it has tit's, wheels or a motor you better have money
