PRE-INSTALL RADIATOR CHECKLIST
The 6.4 radiator is an integral piece of the cooling system, but it
relies on chassis bushings and other cooling system components
for optimal functionality and longevity. Our team has identified
several vital upgrades and maintenance items that will directly
impact the lifespan of your radiator. The list below provides
guidelines regarding the necessary procedures for appropriate
protection of your cooling system.
By following these guidelines you can extend the life of your
radiator and cooling system and reduce vehicle downtime. This
has been compiled in the best interest of our consumers, and its
completion is necessary prior to the installation of any radiator,
whether it be a factory unit or the Mishimoto radiator.
DEGAS BOTTLE
01. Confi rm if the coolant Degas Bottle has been updated from
the two-port design (Figure 1) to the single-port design
(Figure 2). If this update has been performed, be sure the
radiator cap has been replaced with the single-port unit.
02. If a single-port Degas Bottle is installed, check the cap for
nicks or cracks. If the cap is damaged in any way, be sure
to replace it.
03. If a single port Degas Bottle is in place, ensure that the
appropriate venturi tee connections (Figure 3) are being used.
COOLANT LEAKS
04. Inspect all coolant hoses/components for leaks. Failed hose
O-rings are quite common and are easily identifi ed by a white
residue (Figure 4). Failure-prone points include connections
at the radiator and engine. If any form of leaking exists, replace
the affected hose with the updated double O-ring design
(Figure 5). If the hoses are removed for any reason, be sure
to check the O-rings for damage prior to reinstallation.
