  6. INSPECT RADIATOR CORE SUB-ASSEMBLY 

    Check the core plate for damage.

    HINT:

    • If the sides of the core plate groove are deformed, it is impossible to reassembly the radiator tank. Therefore, first correct any deformation using pliers or a similar tool.
    • Water leakage will occur if the bottom of the core plate groove is damaged or dented. Repair or replace it if necessary.
    NOTE: The radiator can only be recaulked 2 times. After being recaulked 2 times, the radiator assembly must be replaced.
