Default New CRX radiator prob.

Alright, I just got a CRX with a b16. On the way home I noticed it was starting to overheat so I pulled over at a gas station to check it out. The resivoir was empty of coolant and the coolant was all over the enigine bay. So I was thinking WTF? So I started to fill everything back up. The water was boiling out of the radiator and theres a small hairline crack on the top near the radiator cap. Now my question is could I epoxy it up as a temporary solution till I get a new one? Also what kind of radiator would you guys recommend? Any help / helpful question are really appreciated. Thx

use some jb weld on the crack. i cracked my radiator about 2 months ago. i used some of the jb weld, and its been holding up to this day.

you can find it at your local auto store, autozone or advance auto parts.

And don't lean on the resonator tube across the top of the radiator anymore.

LOL. I already learned that lesson, and bought a brass cored radiator for $100 from http://www.radiator.com!
