can this hole be repaired. its a small puncture in the center of the radiator. when the engine is running it leaks about 2-3 drops a second.

 

i heard u can crack an egg down ur radiator and it will stop the leak.. but only temporarily. But i dont know if it works.

WTF^^^^^^^^^^ gay

 

an old myth was to put in some pepper.

 

maybe a whole chili pepper

 

hah nah they said you use the eggs for leaks but a whole needs to be replaced 2-3 drops per second. thats like 180 drops per minute. i say you get a radiator have the size of your old one but still does the job. or a nice fluidyne one.

 

just get a new one, if you have a boy that works at a shop or parts store tell him to hook you up with a discount...they cost around 100 to 120 new

 

radiatorbarn.com
i got mine there about a year ago for 120 shipped. best bang for the buck.
good luck

 

OK you got a hole in your radiator. BUY A NEW ONE!

 

auto zone sells for 100-130 for honda/acura radiators.

It works as a temporary fix, but it works.

Have you tried some stop leak?

ANd yes, it can be rpaired by a radiator show. No cluw on the cost though, but it would be cheaper than a new raidator. Though, now you can get a better one

If you're on a tight budget, some Bar's Stop Leak is certainly worth a shot.

 

I bought a Mishimoto over a koyo and I love it. I say buy a Mishimoto.

 

if you live in the OC come by Ta Tung auto parts, we sell koyo radiators for good price.

 

thanks. well im going to try to get it fix and if they cant then i will buy a new one. I found one for $90 bucks.

 

Get a nu radiatior, they usually arent that expensive.

Actually, it does. Mythbusters (yeah, I know, Im a dork) tested this and if fixed two leaks they put in a radiator. I wouldnt recommend it because eventually the egg will deteriorate. It makes sense though, because the forces pushing the coolant out of your leak also push the egg out, and once the egg hits air, the chemical reaction helps solidify it, basicallly cooking it. So, in effect, its a radiator over easy, and it does work.

 

a radiator shop may be able to patch it with a weld or other means jsut depends on the size. If you have one local just swing by and let tem take a look at it they will tell you on the spot if it can be repaired. The also sell stuff at autozone that will patcha small hole.

 

some jb weld! haha jk.
