Radiator repair

Recommended Posts

When I did my LS-swap I bought the radiator that was suggested to me by a few users on S10forum... Well said radiators have a problem with leaking after a few months... Specifically the header plates where the tubes go in.

 

Is there ANY shop that can repair this thing for me for less than the cost of a new radiator??

 

It's a Dual 1" core Aluminum Radiator.

before it leaked it would keep my engine around 195F (Fan OFF in motion, Fan ON low stopped)

 

I just don't have the couple hundred to spend on a new aluminum radiator right now and my only other option is to get a HD4.3 radiator which is a single 1" core.:mad:

I had a leaky radiator on one of my older cars back in the day.. just pull off a wad of this junk, press it on into place, let dry, and blam. Unless I'm misunderstanding where the leak is coming from.

It's leaking on on the headerplates where the tube go into the tanks on both sides... I wouldn't be able to get JB weld in there

 

 

Thanks, I'll give'em a call
