Re: radiators fucked

Make or purchase a radiator cage to support your radiator from the bottom

Then you can either braze or jb weld the radiator leaks shut, or buy another one

Re: radiators fucked

I wouldn't put **** inside the radiator, as it's just gonna end up in your motor

if anything 'ghetto' jb weld the outside, mine and my friends lasted for years with jb weld

Re: radiators fucked

when you use the JB weld, make sure the radiator is empty (or at least, below the area its leaking, so coolant is coming out..)

then clean the radiator with a garden hose with degreaser and a tooth brush... You gotta remove all the residue!
You could even use Brake cleaner if you want to clean it..

Then mash that jb weld into the broken fins, make it nice and thick and impacted into the radiator.. Let it dry overnight
