- In this video we replace the rusty old radiator with a shiny new Mishimoto one, as well as replacing the fan. Then we try (and fail) to fill and bleed the coolant.
Radiator and mounts are from GT4-Play:

Radiator mounts - gt4-play.co.uk/shop/radiator-...

Toit like a tiger. I use the saying. Growing up on Austin powers films. Loving the video.
Bring back the series!!!
Good stuff this happened to pop up today as we finished our coolant fill.
Lol the rust converting paint brush is the best covering paintbrush of all time
Great video!
That must be really frustrating, but chin up, new day and a new dawn. You will get it sorted be it air pockets or thermostat. It cannot be anything else.
A little soapy water or grease likely would've made getting those radiator mounts into place much easier.
Put the cap on so that the system will pressurize properly.
so glad your one step ahead of me, only difference overall is the extensive welding i have had to do which also means painting the whole car....outside... damn, btw found the links for the fuel lines & lost a olive...waiting on a new one.
I hope that you don’t get disheartened as I would love to see the car finished and back on the road - keep up the good work.
ahhhh coolant bleeding, the bane of all MR2 owners or so ive heard. you might have to bite the bullet and get a vacuum bleeder
I winced when you put the wrong connectors on because I have done that more times than I would like to admit. I hope the leak isn't anything major. From what I have heard, getting the air out of the cooling system can be a pain. It is lovely to see a video of you making progress!
Love the videos. Your creating such a resource for MR2 owners who don't know anything mechanical or are too scared to tackle things like myself!
Thinking back to what I've seen; defective thermostats, warped housings for same and then there are passages clogged with something or other and hoses that are coming apart on the inside and thereby clogged. Since yours appear to be all new, at least we can rule that last one out.
Keep going mate, so close now. Keeps me entertained during our NZ Covid lockdowns.
I've had thermostats that were dead on arrival. Learned the hard way to boil them in a pot and verify they open before installing. Also on my Civic hatch the front wheels spin some in neutral when on the jacks.
Getting there :)
Man some engines just donot like to be refilled.
love the mr2 videos.
Love the videos. Keep going, you've made some awesome progress overall.
