Patching up a radiator
 

I have a cracked rad and seeing as it looks like i'm most likely going to just get an engine swap (and probably get a new rad with that) i may as well just patch up my current one for now.

I've heard JB weld works well.

Anyone got a tutorial or suggestions? is this a bad idea?

i used orange gasket sealer. it worked all winter for me but wouldn't recomend it if you are going to use a/c. your best bet if you're trying to go cheap is a junk yard.

i seen on myth bosters that you can use a Reg. Egg to seal up a radiator, just poor it in the radiator and it will seal it up.......:p

Crazy, but it works.....lol

jb weld works fine the resin with steel mix. but depends where the damage is. the plastic end tank right?

yes, plastic end tank.

use EGG FTW


it seals it up so you can drive around town

i have a buddy who used to be a mechanic years ago and a raw egg will seal it back up for a pretty long time

another temporary fix is black pepper i dont know how but it works
