theres a plastic piece on the radiator hose near the cap that i broke today - its connected to the pipe that runs to the coolant reservoir, located to the right of the radiator cap. it broke off when i was using a pry bar to get the head off

is this part replaceable? it doesnt look like it is, it looks like it was connected to the radiator. does this mean i have to get a new radiator? or what can i do to patch this up?????? thanks

 

try some jb weld.You have to make sure there is absolutely NO water around the area or it will never dry.Drain radiator first.When i took my crx to the track, the bushings in my crossmember were bad and the LS motor was too strong so the crossmember would jump forward and break my radiator.I had to keep adding jb weld after each run.

 

what is jb weld? where do i get it? does it require torching?

you can get it at autozone or home depot, and no, it doesn't require torching.. just time to dry.

 

I thought JB Weld only worked on metal?

 

JB weld is good shieet .. works on everything if you just be patient and let it dry.

 

permatex has soem epoxy weld that works better on plastic. we use it to fix motorcycle fairings. awesome stuff.

 

great stuff, its strong as hell.

 

Make sure when you JB weld it you don't 'weld' the hole shut. Stick a screw or something in there when you put the JB on. Then take the screw out so you don't weld it in there too!
