i've got a crack in the radiator on my 94 accord. the crack is in the plastic where the upper radiator hose connects to the radiator itself and its about 2 or 3 inches long.

rather than replace the radiator b/c of this, how about i just use some JB Weld or another epoxy and seal it up, maybe then wrap it? what do you guys think?

 

cant hurt to try some sort of repair, but might want to consider an aluminum one in the near future--wont have any more problems

 

you'll end up buying another one..

jd weld=temp. fix

 

I had a similar problem...

Best bet is to get another radiator...it only cost around 65 bucks for a new one...!!

I had the same problem with mine. I tried the JB Weld and it worked fine for a few months. It started cracking and leaking again in the same area, so I decided to buy a new one. Bought mine for $80 brand new and haven't had any problems since.

 

Don't waste your time or money - just buy a new one. Been through this 2 times already myself - 2 different cars.
