rad neck leak...need opinions

[markc32]

Hello...so i have a very small pinhole on the neck of the rad right where it meets the top of the rad...is there a cheap fix on this? any specific epoxy? patch it? seal?

thanks

You can get it welded. Any aluminum welder can do it. Look for a rad shop in your area they can definately do the best job. You can try high-temp epoxy it would probably work, but best beat is welding.

its on the top the black part? it doesnt look aluminum???

Ok, I know exactly what your talking about. I'm not sure. You can try epoxy, if it's a pinhole it'll probably hold, but it's pretty high pressure and temperature is pretty hot also. I'm shotting an idea here but maybe you can put a small piece of fiberglass sheet and cover it with epoxy resin.

just stay away from ones with pressed on necks.

When my oem rad blew the end tank in multiple spots, it was cheaper to buy a $300 koyo copper rad for me then risk it happening again. I'd forget about the plastic rad.
