A car’s engine produces so much heat that it can literally destroy itself if the cooling system and radiator fail to keep the engine within the proper temperature range. The best way to ensure a long engine life is to make periodic maintenance checks and repairs. Oil changes, air filter replacement, and tune-ups are just some of the other routine checks you should make beyond your cooling system.This article focuses on radiator care and the kind of preventative maintenance you can pursue to keep your car running cool. Depending on the age and total mileage of your car, you’ll want to have your cooling system checked every one to two years. If you notice your radiator acting up or running a bit hot, don’t hesitate to get it looked at by a professional.When your radiator is being checked, here are a few common maintenance procedures you’ll hear about.Radiator Flushing and RepairHere, the radiator is removed, power cleaned, and flushed of its fluids. Once cleaned, it is then pressure tested, inspected for any cracks or leaks, and repaired if necessary. More will be discussed on radiator flushing in future articles.Radiator Cleaning and RepairOnce the radiator is removed from your car, it will be cleaned inside and out by power washing and immersion with a powerful cleaner. After a thorough cleaner, it is flushed again before being pressure tested, closely inspected and repaired. “Rod-out” and RepairThis is a more thorough version of the above. Once removed, the radiator is power cleaned externally, flushed, tested and repaired. One tank is then removed and a rod is used to loosen and remove debris from each tube. Once this is completed, the radiator is then replaced and tested thoroughly.New Core or RecoreThis is a process whereby a radiator is restored nearly to its original condition. By using restored existing parts (when salvageable) in conjunction with new or refurbished-as-new parts, the radiator’s performance and longevity is dramatically improved, especially with the installation of a new radiator core.Radiator Tank and Gasket ReplacementOnce the radiator is removed from the engine, it is placed in a special fixture to separate the damaged tank and gasket. Each is then replaced with a new or refurbished part, thereby avoiding the purchase of a brand new radiator. Once the radiator is reassembled, it is then tested and filled.</blockquote>
