Radiator: Testing and Inspection

Radiator Leak Test, Removed From the Vehicle 

CAUTION:  Never leak test an aluminum radiator in the same water that copper/brass radiators are tested in. Flux and caustic cleaners can be present
in the cleaning tank and they will damage aluminum radiators.

NOTE:  Clean the radiator before leak testing to avoid contamination of tank.

1. Leak test the radiator in clean water with 138 kPa (20 psi) air pressure.
