Front clip was removed for access plus the fact the radiator needs some modifying. More on that later. Today was removing the damper, installing a new seal and pressing the damper back on. The tube on the seal was used to "press" the seal in. I didn't get a shot of the simple steel plate with 1" hole that was put over the tube. I used my damper installer to press the seal in. No hammers needed. Smooth as a baby's butt. Then it was just pressing the damper back on. Kinda' boring, but needed as it did show signs of leakage on the new build.Got the owner to fab up a 3qt. expansion tank (the builder had a .5qt one on) and I'll have my buddy tig weld it. Also need to move the fan temp switch to the BOTTOM of the radiator and not at the top.[ATTACH=full]50417[/ATTACH]Put a piece of flat 3/16" plate with 1" hole in the middle to use for a seal press. I'm having my buddy make me one.[ATTACH=full]50418[/ATTACH]My damper install rod showing seal after being pressed in.[ATTACH=full]50419[/ATTACH]Turning away....[ATTACH=full]50420[/ATTACH]Damper back on and nut torqued.</blockquote>
