I’ve got a friend who has a blown heater core, past the point of no return as far as AlumAseal or Bars is concerned.
Needs to have it ripped out and replaced.
Bitch or no-bitch??
I did the heater core on an ‘88 Thunderbird, so I know Bitch. I’ve done several other vehicles’ cores so my understanding is pretty solid.
Hit me with the facts! (and maybe a link to a step-by-step!)
You can bypass the heater core by connecting its inlet and outlet hoses together with a pipe. Solves the leak problem, but not viable once the weather turns cold, so it’s just a delaying tactic.
I had the evaporator core on an ‘88 T-Bird go out so I tore into that bitch and it was a bitch. Ten minutes after getting it all put back together and checking out my new cold-blowin’ a/c, I noticed coolant dripping from the heater core drain. It was a bitch both times.
