That's the wrong kind of solder to use for that. Rosin core is for electrical work. You want to use acid core solder for a mechanical bond, just like sweating copper pipes. Your flame is way too hot or high. The rosin is why it caught on fire.

If it is catching on fire, that's contamination. Not good.

I really like the idea of using the butane torch which by chance I do have. My repair is quite a bit smaller at the bottom tank joint. Getting it cleaned is going to be the most difficult part. The radiator itself I bought new about 5 years ago. But great video glad I found it.

Thanks for the video. My son just picked up a 63 330 that needs a little radiator work. Glad I found your video.

Sorry for the length of this comment. Clean the surfaces like Mom is looking over your shoulder. Heat them up to temp to burn any weirdness and sand, wire brush for second time then wipe with a degreaser. Don't over heat the metal. Coat the mating surfaces with flux, squeeze bracket into position, wipe any gobs of flux away. Heat the area first until the FLUX FLOWS (it will smoke a LITTLE bit), and touch the solder to the joint. The solder should readily melt and get sucked into the joint (by the action of the flux). Back away with the torch as needed. Don't OVERHEAT the joint. After you load it up with solder like you ended the video, load up the flux brush with a bunch of flux, back off the flame, and while still hot (molten solder), brush off the excess solder from the joint. It cleans easily and leaves the joint looking pro. Reload brush with more flux when depleted You can finish up by wiping quickly with a DRY rag. Reheat if the area is large like your bracket. What's done already won't be harmed. Just DON'T OVERHEAT THE METAL or it will screw up the joint. The surfaces will not accept the solder and will behave to be re-cleaned. Watch videos by plumbers to get a good sense of how to solder. They do it a lot.

Yeah this seems like a common issue. I've seen this a lot. We go to change the oil, and hour later we find out what the sound is, its the same as this and its the middle of the night. The whole things shit. That's why FORD is an acronym for, Fix Or Replace Daily.Ford makes shit cars.

20 minutes later we know how tofix it but its not worth it. We contemplated just riding it out till it does but that's a bad idea. If this thing goes it will take steering and brakes with it. And taking g it apart will make it worse. We just sell the shit for what we can get.

mine ended up being the timing chain guides. They are made out of plastic and they crumbled to pieces and fell down into the oil pan.

Yeah that would've been nice if that ended up being the issue. It was a broken timing chain guide for the chain located in the rear of the engine. It's the one that turns the right side camshaft.

I pulled the engine and replaced all 4 chains, guides, tensioners, gaskets, etc. It's running like new now.

It ended up being the timing chain guides. I did all the work myself. About $800 in parts and materials. Also had to hunt down someone with the special Ford tools to hold the cams and crank in place to tighten the sprocket bolts etc. I tried improvising without but couldn't do it without the special tools.
