Can anyone give me recommendations on where to take a heat exchanger, from a Detroit diesel 8.2 engine, for repair in the Seattle area. I have one that not only needs cleaned, but has a pinhole leak.
Thanks

I have had a couple other people recommend Seattle Radiator. Hopefully, and I was told they would, they will take a look at it first to see if it is worth repairing. They would probably have to steam it first in order to determine that, but if saves me from buying a new one it should be worth the few bucks (boat bucks) to clean it. The pinhole leak is along one of the welds and not from a ding. So, maybe it is deteriating from the inside out. At this point, the leak is not bad enough that I can't run the engine, but don't want to go very far. Another winter project. My guess is that I will have to make a decission to eather have it repaired for $400 or $500 or buy a new one for $900 to $1000. If this one is bad then the other heat exchanger is not far behind.
