Blew MCI radiator

[Oonrahnjay]

Wow,it was rotten doesn't look like epoxy would have worked on that one   

    Awww, right kind of compound, that would buff out all right ...

My son and I documented our radiator replacement on our MC9 might be helpful to some.

Mike that's great work you and your son did, I also followed your other bus build articles good work and thanks.
Jim I checked out your site, with the write up on the repair that's a great. And the some cool paint to Thanks

[mike802]

Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed them.
Wagwar:  Thats a great write up,  I will have to remove  the blowers eventually.  I suspect once we start driving the bus we will also have dried up seals to deal with.  Its been sitting for 4 years now as I convert it.  My wife is to the point where she just wants it usable so we can enjoy it.

Just got a quote from a well known and well liked radiator place in Michigan. $1900 to recore my 1 mci9 radiator. Someone please tell me that price is wrong...

I have a call into general radiator. They were nice but their website is a little scary.

That is a bargain compared to the on that resides in the back of huggy.

Still have heating problems.

That's the problem with making horsepower out of a 2stroke Detroit.

Scott; check local bus companies --Might be surprised what they have laying around they don't use any longer. The MCI's with 2 rad were work horses for along time for many..

FYI I'm not hearing good things about general radiator. Not impressed with my interaction with him today.
