Had a slight leak in Roza's radiator and used Bars Leak to fix it. Did the job however you wouldn't beleive how much higher the temp guage climbed. At least a third of the temp scale. I tried several radiator cleaners and conditioners but nothing helped or got the temp reading down.
I had solutions, a recore at around $360.00 or a good recond second hand radiator from Suzi 4 at $210.00. I had a good look at the recond one and went that way. It was in good shape, clean and nicely painted. In and working well with the temp gauge reading now lower than before.
The radiator I took out seemed to have a grey coating over everything inside. Could have been the Bars Leak and maybe it acted like an insulator stopping the transfere of heat. I used a Nulon flush for 30 mins on the new system. Should be clean now for my long trip.

I have repaired my radiator twice now. The radiator is all brass construction and solders very well. I used a very large soldering iron.
My top tank had a crack in it and was soldered up by a radiator repair joint under warranty. That was about ten months ago and I haven't had a problem since.
By the way - what temp does the feroza show at operating temprature?
My gauge sits pointing straight up , covering the symbol behind it. Is this normal? It never climbs any higher so I havent worried about it.
