JB weld radiator

[masterchief819]

Got a aluminum koyo radiator. Theres about a pin sized hole in it and was wondering if it's repairable. Tried solder (lol...) and it held water but blew out once pressure was applied. Friend told me about jb weld epoxy stuff. Will this stuff hold you think? Running a 1.1bar cap if it makes any diff...

I dont know if it will hold, but that stuff is strong

Take it to a good radiator shop, I had one repaired that had several holes.

+1

they'll actuall WELD it . which, for whatever reason, wasnt your first idea

brazing works well too, similar to welding.

Its ALUMINUM..... it has to be welded with aluminum, brazing and soldering are awfull ideas, jb weld will work fine, but i would never do that to my brand new 350$ radiator. especially when someone can tig it up nice and pretty for about 5$
