Engine Cooling System: Radiator: Inspection

Check the core plate for damage.

HINT:

• If the sides of the core plate groove are deformed, it is impossible to reassemble the radiator tank. Therefore, first correct any deformation using pliers or a similar tool.
• Water leakage will occur if the bottom of the core plate groove is damaged or dented. Repair or replace the core plate if necessary.
  NOTE: The radiator can only be recaulked twice. After being recaulked twice, the radiator assembly must be replaced.
