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.

 

JB Weld that ----!

 

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.

 

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
