Well, I tryed patching the radiator. Like I said in my original post, I would try patching before spending the big bucks (in comparison) to the cost of a replacement radiator.
Here is the results: The patch didn't hold. I will now replace the radiator. I thank everyone for your replys. :) Lenny?? Did you work for Penn DOT back in the late 60's early 70's? I think I know you. I ran the 5th floor snack bar back then. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mickey Fixsen To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, December 02, 2006 09:00 Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] all about radiators Here is something you might want to consider. If you patch the plastic radiator tank and it holds for a bit, it is very likely that when it fails in the future, it will happen when you are driving along and the system is up to full operating temperature and pressure. When this happens, it is likely to be catastrophic and you will instantly lose all coolant and you might sustain major engine damage. Just something to consider. Maybe the cost of the new radiator would be the best investment. ----- Original Message ----- From: NLG To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 8:07 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] all about radiators Thanks for the interesting link, Lenny. I picked up some epoxy today but didn't get around to attempting a patch do to a water leak that I had to repair inside the bathroom wall today. Tomorrow I will attempt the patch. If it works it works, if it doesn't, I found a new radiator on radiatorbarn.com for $125 that I will purchase.
