That will depend on the degree of the damage to the fins.

If some of the fins are slightly bent there should be no problem at all.

On the other hand if several of the fins are broken off the cooling will probably not be adequate,

Is the microprocessor's internal temperature sensor reporting an unusually high temperature (this is the easiest way to tell if cooling is working right or not)?

What is in Cooling Fins on A Radiator?

Radiator have metal fins which increases total surface area of the metal body which cooling effect and hence increase the efficiency to maximum cooling effect.


Where is the transmission coolant line located on a 94 Chevy Blazer 4WD?

If you do NOT have an auxiliary trans cooler, then look for two lines that run from the tranny up to the lower part of the radiator. They screw into the radiator and are cooled inside the radiator. One line brings the hot fluid to the radiator and other returns the cool fluid back to the tranny. Crawl under and just follow then from the tranny forward. They usually run right beside one another. If you have an auxiliary tranny cooler the lines still run from the tranny but at some place they connect to a cooler usually located IN FRONT OF THE RADIATOR. I said usually. Some peopel mount tranny coolers in different places. An auxialiary tranny cooler looks like a mini radiator with the fins and all. There are two lines .......one is the inlet and one the outlet just like the radiator. SOmetimes I have seen the lines going from the tranny and the inlet line goes into the radiator, then comes out of the radiaotr via the outlet, then the outlet line goes to the auxiliary inlet line in front of the radiator and then from the outlet the line runs all the way back to the tranny. This way the fluid is cooled in the radiator as well as the auxiliary cooler. Finding the two metal lines that come from the tranny is the key and follwing them.


Will dust cause the radiator to over heat?

yes if the dust has stuck to radiator,and blocked the cooling fins, it will sure enuff cause over heating. with engine off, you can usually wash dust and other debri out of radiator fins from the engine side, using a hose.do not use a pressure washer as this will damage the fins

The core is typically copper with aluminum fins


What is an oil cooler system?

Cools engine by cooling engine oil that runs through a A/C or Transmission looking cooler. It may run through your radiator that has extra fins built into it and is separate from coolant. It may be an after market add on. It is usually on vehicles that pull trailers or handle heavy weight. Will prolong engine life. CON: Some types are prone to leaks or being damaged causing loss of oil and worse a complete loss of oil resulting in engine damage or failure.


What are the mechanisms of heat transfer which are necessary to consider while designing the car radiators?

There are three methods of heat transfer, conduction, convection and radiation. Of these, the two which are important are conduction and convection. Convection is the heat transfer method as cooler air passes between the fins of the radiator, and conduction is the transference of heat from the hot coolant to the metal fins.
