    2026 update… no more steam explosive issues! All radiators are working very well. Only issue is a bad gauge that needs to be replaced. Thanks @ethicalpaul for a good temp replacement part. And a HUGE thank you to all contributors for helping me with this issue! Hope you all have a happy and warm 2026!!
