Right on my Bitches. 🙂 Bill Howes.
This video won't load. Thanks for nothing google!
Mechanics are fucking thieves, of course leaks can be repaired in aluminum and plastic parts, I've been using JB Weld Marine (6 bucks) for the last 20 years to repair leaks, and most of the radiators I've used it with have outlived the engines themselves. You just gotta use it right. Also there are plastic welders which use som kind of nylon to repair leaks, a service like that is no more then 20 dollars.
YOU DON'T EVER HAVE TO REPLACE A RADIATOR JUST BECAUSE OF A LEAK.
JB WELD will do the trick, wash the part where the leak is located, then use sandpaper to sand the location (this will give you a rough area where the epoxy will be able to hold on to. Wash after sanding, and then generouly apply the JB Weld (do not use JB Kwik, use the regular one or Marine, they are almost the same price.)
After that, let it cure for 12 hours, put antifreeze/water/whatever you use to cool your car, and you'll be good to go, the repair will last months if not years.
Yeah, the problem is that they (along with all aluminum ones) are very difficult to find for a lot of car models, and if you do, they are way too expensive.
Yes you can.
Also, this, using product that clog leaks from the inside is really dangerous because the stuff keeps circulating through your cooling system until it finds something to clog, which could be important parts of the cooling system, fucking your car up.
Are you pussies afraid of using a flame and some metal to do it right???? JB Weld! Yea I'm sure its right next to the bubble gum, duct tape and bailing wire in your pink tool boxes!! I already have a mental picture of what your car must look like!
can you use a cork?
My radiator is leaking through a rubber o-ring on the bottom on the passengers side. I notice that both the driver side and passenger side have this ring. But it only leaks through the passengers side. Any help?
