Slightly tangential, but did your Nissens radiator come with a metal reinforced water neck? I recently purchased one for my 602 and was distressed to see no metal reinforcement like that found in the Behr it was replacing. |

Do you think the 11 blade fan moves more air than the 9 blade one?

Fan R&R is a breeze if you've already had it out once before, and didn't over-tighten the center bolt. I've never encountered stripped water pump threads, but I have run into previous mechanics who torqued the bolt to about a thousand lb-ft, which makes removal interesting. It just needs to be snug when installing. I wouldn't cut the shroud at all, it's there for a reason, and there's really no need to chop it up just to make it easier to remove.

Yeah, I feel pretty stoopid for not being aware of that little detail.

Whunter's opinion is the Nissens radiator is a MUCH higher quality and cooling design than the Bher... Bher is just a slight modification from original, Nissens is a complete redesign of the cooling circuit and according to Whunter, it's the better choice.

Is it a multipass radiator with compartmentalised radiator tanks.

fit may be an issue, but perhaps the cooling is better. and we all know the 124 diesel needs as much cooling room as can be made!

Cutting of the tank vs drilling the transmission cooler mounting holes for a Behr. I'm not sure why either of them aren't bolt on.
