Will a 4.5 Petrol Radiator cool a 4.2 TD??

Post by ludacris »

As title says, will a 4.5 Petrol Radiator (12 months old) cool a 4.2 Turbo Diesel? I know I have to get inlets and outlets cut off and swapped. It's a 4.5 Auto Radiator.

Any thoughts, etc appreciated.

Doesn't the 4.5 have the same plastic tank/ alloy core radiator as the ZD30. Is it wise to modify that? If it blows out say goodbuy to your engine.
Just my thoughts...I like to play it safe though...Coz towtrucks suck.

If it was factory yes but I have an ADRAD aftermarket.

I'd just get TD42 tanks and get them swapped to the core you have. That way get it cleaned inside while you're at it.
