So, I have a hairline crack on my radiator, just to the left of the cap on top. Is this fixable? Was steaming like crazy this morning and found it to be cracked... can I fiberglass it? Or do I need a new radiator... how much is the whole thing?

Dude, you can buy a new one for under 100 bucks on ebay.
The repair will fail. Its only a matter of time and you'll be wasting money on kits or glues that could go towards your radiator. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Do I need to worry about getting one with some crazy political cap, or one that won't mount my fans? Most the ones on ebay don't have dimensions for those things... |
