Spare heater core?
« on: January 07, 2020, 08:52:32 pm »
I found this out the hard way. I had some spare heater cores.  One of the heater cores did not have caps on the tubes.  When I recently tested the core, the core had apparently corroded internally.  Oops.

So, cap off your spare cores.

If you could store them with the tubes upright, it might also help to fill the with some coolant.

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Yes, but a bit late for that, now.
