Ok, so while getting my celi safety/emissions inspected the mechs came and got me and told me that my radiator was cracked. They said it happened while revin it to 2500 (if you look at my paper work the highest they got it was 1750...freggin motards). I did a search on the forums and I noticed that someone said you could just order the cermaic top/bottom. My questions are how much do these parts run, where can i get them, how do install them? Or would it just be a better bet to get a whole new radiator? Im open to recomendations.
Thanks. |

I think that I found an OEM one thats pretty close to here for about 100. Right now i have that permatex crap on there. Seems to be holdin pretty well though.

Seems to be holdin pretty well though. Dont' trust that permatex crap. Thats what i did but eventually it will leak. I stopped checking it after about two weeks and it let go a month later. My duaghter overheated it and now I have the motor out with bad comression in the cylinder closest to the dizzy. Blown head gasket from overheating. I am doing the rear main seal leak while I'm at it- |
