Only had time to do a flush and a bit of cleaning of the radiator today. Water flowed through at the same volume it was being pumped in, and so I assume there is not too much obstructing things in there. Will do another flush, and a better one, when the radiator is installed again and the engine is running. Copper cooling fins are in great shape. The paint came off very easily, just needing a gentle scraping, wire brush and a scouring pad, perhaps due to being oil covered for many years - except on the solder, where it adhered very well! Overall, the radiator is a very nice colour combination of metals: brass, steel and copper. Too bad it has to be painted!
