best place for radiator repair/recore
so I've been running my rt side rad with 2 JB Weld repairs for close to 2 years now, thought I would finally get it fixed and have a good excuse to send the head off for a compression release while I'm at it.
any ideas on where to send the rad? I did do a search.
also opinions on who to do the comp release? I have read a few posts on the release in the past months but sound off please.

With regards to decom - talk to Roosty on here.
The CR500 is an acquired taste. If you don't like it, acquire some taste...

here is a link to a Maico decomp valve. they are cable operated and return closed via a built in spring. they are very reliable, never had one fail. no need for a rube goldburg (no offense I thought it was pretty creative) lever set up. could this be mounted in the head?

a full set of custom yukons could be rather pricey but hey you dont take any money when you die so might as well spend it all. thats my motto
if stockers last 20 years yukons should last 40. plus they hold up to the saber power which is far more than the cr500 and they back cut the dogs which is a big plus
