Radiator Leak Test, Removed From the Vehicle

CAUTION:
  • Never leak test an aluminum radiator in the same water that copper/brass radiators are tested in. Flux and caustic cleaners may be present in the cleaning tank and they will damage aluminum radiators.
NOTE:
  • Always install plugs in the oil cooler fittings before leak testing or cleaning any radiator.
NOTE:
  • Clean the radiator before leak testing to avoid contamination of tank.
  1. Leak-test the radiator in clean water with 138 kPa (20 psi) air pressure.
