Default radiator Help

Hey guys,
My girlfriend owns a 94 accound ex and it and a crack in the radiator. i dont know if i can use radiator fix to mix in when i poor new antifreeze into it, so i was thinking since my 99 prelude is down i could use my dub core koyo to replace it as a temp. I was wondering if there will be enough room to put it in there. i havent taken a look into her car and it was pretty far out. i can pull it from my own car and take it to her's but i just wanted a heads up to weather it would fit or not before i did all this work. LMK if you have anyone has used a dub core radiator in this model thanks in advance.


BTW Sorry i didnt do to much research as its late and i was just informed of this problem. Please help.

chances are that radiator fix wont work. she might have cracked plastic on her radiatir. besides, that radiator leak fix causes more issues in the long run. usually from it building in the coolant system somewhere and clogging coolant passages or small lines. we had a bleeder valve that got clogged on a customers car once. they just kept putting antifreeze in and driving it. they had a bad head gasket but they tried bleeding it but nothing came out so they thought it was bled. they blew the head gasket and because they put too much radiator fix crap in it they also got that crap in the oil system and scorched bearings in the lower end. they spent around 2500 bucks for me to do a complete rebuild with the removal and installation. i truely dont recommend that crap. but thats my opinion. replace the radiator with the proper one in the morning. tow the car home tonight if you must. autozone opens at 8 am
