While removing my radiator to install my MBC, I accidentaly did this to the radiator:


Can this be repaired with simply JBweld, or a trip to the Radiator repair shop? Other wise I need to hunt down a radiator ASAP!
Just one tiny pin sized hole, that peed all over my engine splash cover/diffuser.

please give your best adivce, as this is my current DD.

 

take it to a radiator shop, they can solder it shut

 

yea it can be fixed I did this to mine and they fixed it . if you need a new one go to radiator.com

 

Wouldnt it be just as effective to use JBweld?

 

No JB Weld, i would get it welded shut.

 

Hmm, why did you remove your radiator for an MBC install?

 

Do you recall how much the service cost, and how fast it was done?

 

I have large hands, and I just preferred to have all the room I needed to make it the cleanest install possible.

Turned out to be the messiest.

 

Bobby,

Their is a radiator for sale in the 4 sale forum. Good luck.

 

I used JBWeld to fix a leak in a pinch. I figured I'd get a new Koyo but I never did. I've been to 6 track days using the epoxy patch with no issues.

 

Did you just use regular JB WELD?

 

Ha, I was able to install mine just by removing the plastic jack cover panel under the car.

 

It would be better to have it repaired at a shop so they can pressure test it afterwards, If you do it yourself at least get it tested to make sure there are no little leaks that will appear after reinstalling your radiator.

 

SO sad......


I Still havent figured out how to remove those ******* clips/screws holding the underttray on

 

here is the guy that is selling his stock radiator.....for a great price too.
