whats an engine?
So i got up today and found a puddle under my B2. Turned out to be coolant.
this happened at 2 stops i made today.
So i get a new one in and then i look at it and realized i should of painted the thing. I dont like the bare aluminum.:annoyed:
Any suggestions as to what kind of paint to use and how to prep it, if needed.
Thanks

Bare aluminum is what you want. Heat is conducted in the same way electricity conducts. If you paint the wires, the electricity wont flow. In the same way you will be reducing how efficiently the radiator is conducting heat from the coolant to the air. Just something to consider.
