Re: Heat Exchanger - testing with a cheap alternative

Re: Heat Exchanger - testing with a cheap alternative

So I finally got out to the boat to have a look. The radiator cap was rusted on and covered in a white gunky residue. Freshwater side has some pasty residue in it and was otherwise dry. I'm guessing...
