Iv got a HG Premier with a cooling problem...It just doesnt like traffic. the first hint of idelling for a long time, the bloody thing just starts to cook. I've been led to believe this is a common problem as the radiator is too small for this engine. Im looking for a replacement radiator, but dont know what to rip one out of. I dont want the conversion to be too dificult. Does any one know what will fit in with minimum fuss? Thanks.

Get the cooling system flushed first.

Is it a standard core or a three core radiator?
if its a standard change to the 3 core
if its the 3 core a flush like BYRON said would help.
maybe change the thermostat to a lower opening temp.
means more flow might help

HG Prem.
Whether or not your want to fork out the $70 to get your rad serviced (top removed and cleaned)
Put a cup of laundery detergent in your radiator first, run until warm, then dump via bottom rad hose.
repeat 3-4 times.
This will soften the wat |
