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
