1992 Upper Radiator Shroud Removal - Page 3 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Mystic ZR-1,

Thanks. Have used DeWitts several times in other Corvettes with good results.

Question - has anyone used Marc's 170 degree thermostat? Would like to know if it helps when driving in high Texas summer heat stop'n'go traffic.

OK guys, have all the bolts/nuts/screws out of the radiator shroud.

Driver's side up in the air approx 25 degrees. Pass side - unable to get passed the A/C lines, especially the lowest one.

What's the trick to get the right side of the upper shroud out?

Thanks,

Gary

For me, it was a lot of trial & error, just hoping I wouldn't break anything. However you get it out, remember because it goes back the same way.

Subfixer,

Got'er out. Had to trim a tad bit more off of the pass side shroud mount and slightly use a prybar to get around the lower A/C hose.

Radiator had some debris on it, but not bad.

Appreciate your help and guidance. Thanks,

Gary

Guys,

Am having a hard time getting the upper shroud reinstalled.

Problem is getting passed the small radiator outlet hose on the upper RH side of the new DeWitts 2 row radiator. The outlet is stuck against shroud back on the housing.

Have the upper radiator shroud at 90 degrees and the lower end of the RH shroud flange almost to the bottom hose.

Appreciate y'all's input on how to get the RH side of the shroud in place.

Thanks,

Gary

Any ideas.
