after finishing all casemodding, i switched on my pump... the sucker can't even prime the system anymore.

i thk this is one of those cases where myv65 is right about it sometimes being better to run 2 rads in series. when i did that i used to have no problems running 2 rads. now i switch to parallel mounted rads; there u go, flow reduced that much.

i did change from a hayden + generic rad to 2 heatercore style rads. upgraded some of my tubing to 1/2. the larger tubing seems to be part of the problem too.

anyone want to elaborate on the theories of this phenomenon?

now i'm stuck between a rock and hard place. mount another 1048 in series; or go for a 1250 alltogether.
