Anatomy

Anatomy of a cooling system, decoded.

Every job that crosses the workshop floor is treated as an engineering subject. The radiator, the hoses, the cap, the expansion tank — each measured, each documented, each photographed. The drawing on the right is alive: coolant flows from the inlet, through the core, out the bottom.

Process

Diagnosis is a discipline, not a guess.

Every job starts with the same protocol: thermal imaging, pressure & flow benchmarks, coolant chemistry. You leave with a written report — whether you book the repair with us or not.

  1. 01

    Thermal scan

    FLIR imaging on a warm engine reveals every clogged tube.

  2. 02

    Pressure & flow

    Calibrated rig holds 15 psi for 30 minutes minimum.

  3. 03

    Coolant chemistry

    pH & conductivity logged — electrolysis is the silent killer.

  4. 04

    Written report

    PDF report with photos sent before any approval is required.

Took our six-month wait list and made it disappear. The Raptor's never run cooler towing the van up Cunningham's.

PDF diagnostic on the email by lunch, repair on the road by Friday. That's how a workshop should run.

I run an '83 Porsche 944. Three other shops gave up. SCR built a custom alloy core in two weeks.
