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

here is dcp thread... i actually have a friend that owns ndc, he biulds bars, subframe braces and rad cages...the dif between his and dcp is ndc cages have brackets to mount a second fan to help your 636 stay cool in the lot!!! i just dont know if ndc is ready to release his rad cages to the public yet...i could hit him up for you if you want...lmk!

You can put an egg in the radiator as weird as it sounds it works.. it patches leaks..

Re: radiators fucked
 

pepper works too

Re: radiators fucked
 

I wouldn't put shit 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

Re: radiators fucked

Re: radiators fucked

haha will do:yeah

Re: radiators fucked
 

just ring Danny

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
