VA Gasman 08-26-2012 05:03:31 75.192.47.199 Report to Moderator	I have had my SH stage II going for about 5 hours intermittently since the sleeve installation.I get it warmed up and run at different speeds. I have rechecked valve clearance. Checked headblots again with torque wrench. And changed oil and filter. Also added anti freeze. Friday I put it in the field raking for 2 1/2 hours temp only goes to 170-175'. but now I see weeping at the rear seam on the radiator tank. I look close and the solder appears to be cracked. no spray but just weeping. I have drained coolant down and tried to resolder. here's the question??? If my repairs does not hold are there any shops that you can send radiator to to be cleaned and repaired that will accept shipments and reshipback to you. There are no shops within 60 miles of me in northern VA. [Reply]   [No Email]

He does not have a radiator shop within 60 miles... So presumably there is a radiator shop 61 miles away... That really doesn't seem like too much of an inconvenience. Worst case 1-1/2 hours driving each way, less if you can hit an expressway most of the way there... Shipping something as bulky as a radiator is going to cost a fortune these days. Almost cheaper to drive. [Reply]  [No Email]
