JB weld may quick fix it....but I would only see that as temporary while I was ordering a new rad. Aluminum rads are nice but $$
A replacement rad would be just fine and $100 or so is easier to float. A dual core DelSol Vtec rad would be a nice in between rad. upgrade.

http://www.radiator.com
You can try the search function but you won't end up with the correct part number, you will get the single core rad instead.
1-800-248-8720
Give them a call or email asking for the Vtec DelSol dual core radiator. The part number is 1275 or 12** something like that. Cost is $127 and it ships quickly.

Note: you will need to get larger hose clamps and strech your D series hoses over the B series size hose necks on the rad.

Just get a del sol dual core. You can get some Chinese made ones for around $100. They work just fine and fit fine. Good Luck

You can try JB Quick(plastic version),however this will ultimately be a temporary fix.The best solution is a nice new rad,but if $$$ is an issue go with a new stock rad or good used one.
