Yeah so it looks like a new radiator is about 600 bucks so that’s cool. Not sure how that works since I just got one for my Cummins for less than half that, and it’s basically the same thing. I have approximately zero interest in resurrecting/repairing 40 year old radiator technology, so a new one it will be.
Frankly I’m surprised no one has any comments like “I always pressure test mine before I clean and paint them” or something useful like that lol.
Still frustrated today, but I got a text from the guy I got the motor from, and we’re going to meet next week so I can drop his boat anchor off and he can give me my money back. So that’s good
