Description of My Vertical RadiatorThe biggest problem I’ve got is that I run the car at 4,500 feet out here at Miller (Utah Motorsports Campus), so it’s thin air. And it’s an LS7, so it’s got a pretty long stroke, so you get a lot of heat, a lot mechanical energy going on,” Smith said. “Keeping the car cool had been a problem for several years. On a hot day, it was really hard to keep the engine temps in line with what I’m comfortable with.”

Smith saves all the patterns he makes in case of crash damage. He has since shared the patterns with a couple of other C5 drivers who were having similar cooling issues. No matter the reason for fitting a new radiator, we’ve compiled each and every step that you would need to fit it yourself along with a list of tools you will need. Steps on How to Fit a Radiator Once the pipes are inserted, it’s time to solder the pipework. Using a blowtorch, heat the join until it is hot enough for the solder to melt. When applying solder, it’s important to ensure it runs around the whole fitting. Then, allow the solder to set and wipe away any residue and clean again with wire wool. Step 6: Fit the Valves Then, attach the air vents being careful not to over-tighten as this can damage the O-ring. You can then connect the radiator tail with your adjustable spanner until there is just one thread showing. Your radiator is now dressed and ready to be installed.
