Re:Radiator keeps cracking.
I cracked 2, stock plastic ones, one from my dx, and one from an std, the std one was smaller. Then I got lucky and found a metal one, 3 row, on a crx, got it for $50, and have not had a problem ever since.

Re:Radiator keeps cracking.
it's just the top and bottom that's plastic, buy a five gallon tub of jbweld and totally encapsulate the plastic parts... hell, get the economy sized 50 gallon drum and build a new friggin radiator. Pimp that jbweld like you're slinging rock.

Re:Radiator keeps cracking.
It's not the radiator cap that's cracking its the overflow tank and the radiator endtanks. I went to torque the headbolts when I realized that on a zc you have to take out the freakin cams just to get to the bolts. That sucks.

Re:Radiator keeps cracking.
btw, how hard is it to take out the cams? can I just line it up with tdc and take off the bolts and little metal pieces that hold the cams in place, or is there some special ---- i gotta do?

Re:Radiator keeps cracking. (Update)
Ok, well I just got the chip in with the basemaps on it. But my car still bogs/misses under boost, or hard accelaration. If I try to give it more than part throttle it bogs and bucks back and forth. Sometimes it will go into boost and I can hold it there but it's slow, it's faster if I hold it a 0 vac. I tried changing plug wires and I'm going to check the plugs tommorrow. What else should I check? Would a loose charge pipe coupling make it do this?
It sucks cause I've got all the cool sounds of a turbo and no go!! I'm a ricer!!!!!!!!! Please Help me!

Heh, if you order from 1800radiators enter this code for 25 dollars off the purchase, 40310. I asked it if I was talking to a person and it said "No! but heres 25 dollars off for figuring it out." Youre welcome.

I looked at the spark plugs, they are kinda dark colored, they don't look bad. I don't have a timing light so I couldn't check my timing so I retarded the timing all the way at the distributer and the car would hardly run. Then I advanced it all the way and took it out and it ran a little bit better, guess i'll need to get a timing light.
How do you set the timing on a zc? There are no markings on the timing belt cover to let you know whether to advance it or retard it. Thanks
