I searched and there is a ton of info but didn't find anything to specifically address this....
can anyone think of a reason to not use an open system rad, but keep your closed system plumbing?
I like the closed system and recently replaced the bottle and cap and all the hoses (not cheap!) still running hot and I'm pretty sure I diagnosed a partially plugged rad (it was flushed) so time to get a rad. local rad shop can get me an oem 2 core rad for the 1990 XJ or the 3 core rad for the newer XJs. I'm thinking of getting the newer 3 core as the rad guy figures it is better.
thoughts?
