I tested it at 50 psi for 2 hours without any leaks and then let it run over night and it was still holding fine this morning. So I am calling it good. Finding those fittings sure made it alot easier to mod than some of the ones that I've seen. And this way I can change out fitting any time I need to........... :D

wow... 50 psi on an auto heater core!?!? Sounds like a bunch to me. Heck my 30 Gallon air compressor only goes up to 130 psi!

I'd call that heater core PC ready

just keep in mind the corosion factor. check to see that your runing the same material in your new core and cpu bock or you will get pesky electrons moving around
