I have a crack in my radiator and i picked up some jb weld. I was just wondering if any 1 has used it and if so , can you give some feed back.

 

Don't bother, replace the radiator. I tried that stuff and it lasted about 3 days.

 

i have tried it and it didnt work. if it works for you then i guess your ok, temporarily. i wouldnt call it a long term solution though. best bet is to just get a new one asap. i literally just ordered one from here http://www.radiatorexpress.com/part_lookup.asp they have an all aluminum rad. for $134.00 which is a very good deal.

 

It worked for me just fine on my fluidyne for about 2 months, and even then I didnt encounter a problem. Keep in mind, it was a tiny tiny tiny pin-sized hole and I later had it re-tigged. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

 

for mild leaks i have used aluma-seal (little at a time so you dont clog it) and its worked well but if its bigger then its worth a try i suppose

 

I used jb weld on my cracked block for 6 months and it worked pretty good for the hassle it saved me!

Are you serious? You must have used incorrectly, because mine lasted about a week!! hahaha, yah, seriously man, get rid of your rad, don't even bother. I went through about 4 packs of that stuff until I clued in! haha, so yah, get a new or used rad. From my personal experiences, JB weld doesn't work that well with liquid stuff. I used it on Intercoolers and it held really well! mind you I'm not boosting double digits!

haha my crack was about 10" long across the top in the plastic and I'd be driving suddenly I would see droplets of water on my windshield as if it were raining!! haha, but with that I'd smell the coolant!!
