Cooling System

With engine not running, wipe radiator filler neck seat clean. Fill radiator to correct level. Attach tester to radiator and pump until pressure is at upper limit of radiator rating. If pressure drops, inspect for external leaks. If no leaks are apparent, detach tester and run engine until normal operating temperature is obtained. Reattach tester and pump to about seven psi. Race engine, if needle on dial fluctuates it indicates a combustion leak.
