Well, first my radiator got a nice size crack in the top endtank so Jb weld to the rescue. Fixed it for a few weeks but now I've got turbo power and it cracked again in another spot. Tryed to jb weld (worked for 2 days) then starts leaking again, I'm scared I've got a headgasket leak and thats why it keeps cracking. Theres no oil in the coolant and no coolant in the oil though.

I'm kinda scared to buy a new radiator and then that one starts cracking. What should I do? I'm going to torque the headbolts down real good tonight to see if that might be the problem.

Thanks for reading.

Get rid of that stock plastic piece of ---- and get a metal radiator. I picked one up a couple years ago from 1800radiators and I am very happy with it. I had the same issue that you're having with the plastic one. I patched it probalby 6-7 times before I finally said ---- it and bought a metal one.

how much was it? I've seen some all aluminum radiator for like 225 shipped on some website. is this a pretty good deal?

1800radiators.com is a wierd site... seems like a real person is talking with you, but could be just a bot. heh

I paid $100 shipped for a 3 core metal radiator. It's not aluminum though. I might have gotten it from them on ebay. I think they're cheaper there if they still sell em that way.

What car is the radiator you're playing with from?

dont retorque your bolts. make sure the line to your overflow tank is free of debree. mines got clogged and i kept poping hoses and cracked the rad once. just a thought.

Carnesd

It's weird cause my overflow tank cracked too! Even if I put water in the overflow, it doesn't go into the radiator like it's supposed to, would that be the radiator cap?

Answer my earlier post.. I think you have bigger problems
