I can't believe your Tercel blew a rad. That was the most bulletproof car I have ever owned. It made me a life long toyota car owner
Owner reviews for engine radiator
replacing the rad with a new oem unit made my Temps run very normal. Almost boringly normal.
Replaced radiator. Flushed out nasty brown water from cooling lines, heater core and flushed with distilled water 3 times. Pulled vacuum on cooling System and Refilled with G13 premix.
The Mishimoto mk3 aluminum radiator is pretty close to the weight of the OEM plastic end tanked radiator.
I replaced the aging radiator in December. It went smoothly, everything came apart and went back together as the Toyota Gods intended.
EDIT: SOLVED - noticed no leakage around thermostat, coolant ball, all belts were dry, and upper radiator dry. In the end it was the radiator.
Best one to get is the Nissens 68001A. I just put one in my 2000 9-5. For some reason Rock Auto only lists it as fitting 2001 but it will fit a 1999-2001.
run a mk4 secondary rad.
I have heard mixed reviews on the Mishimoto
I recently installed a Koyo radiator in my s13 to replace the stock one that had been leaking. I bled the air thoroughly when I filled the system with a spill free funnel and the bleed screw on the water outlet. Even after doing this, my car started overheating intermittently after driving around for a bit. When I stopped, the upper hose and radiator were very hot but the lower hose was cool to the touch. I tried to bleed more air out of it with the spill free funnel, but no air came out, and the water in the funnel started getting hot and overflowing. I pulled the thermostat to verify if it's functioning properly and it is, also it's the type that will stay open in the event of failure. This might seem silly, but I feel like the thermostat is closing and opening because the radiator is cooling too well.
