Title: Radiators, stock or aftermarket
Post by: mudbogger on March 26, 2016, 08:22:51 AM

My project is at the stage where I am putting the engine and associated systems back together. I have a stock OeEM rad currently considering upgrading if needed or just sending it out or boki flow test. Any input is appreciated.

A good flowing OEM will cool most setups, just fine. Oversized radiators are always a good thing.

I ran a stock rad on my 350pv duner. Never had a heating problem.

What size motor do you have? If it's a big bore and you have the money you might as well buy an after market to be safe. If you can keep your temps down then it will
Allow you to tune the motor better. I tried 3 different stock Rads on my 330 and none would even come close to keeping up. I bought a Afco and problem solved

I've ran stock radiators on my bore cp cylinders with no issues.

That is where I bought mine. I want to say it was around $350 then you'll have to get the fittings and hoses. Stainless hoses are about $50 amd the fittings can vary depending on what you buy. I bought brass ones for $7r
