[@FizzaMC]

Much better of getting that goop in the bottle directly in the radiator (if you need to use it) and then it will evenly distribute through the cooling system. That thick mixture will have a tough time going through the top up hoses as it’s primary use is to block holes. Good luck with the build Isaiah ✌️

[@MaNNeRz91]

Radseal helped me when I had a car kick up a ton of gravel Infront it put loads of shrapnel holes in my radiator. 45 minutes after using radseal it was fine and has been since. Obviously do a coolant change when you get the first chance. It's not good for your pump and thermostat ✌️

[@cltcomandr6647]

Most of the time parts stores only have the 1 option when it come to radiators, automatic. They work fine for both haha

[@xboxpotato521]

my old fb had busted coolant seals and it take time to acumulate coolant in the chamber so if you drive it every day it doesnt smoke

[@krazymann15]

Gotta pay the piper. Rob, that is the single best line today. Either pay up front and be done, or avoid it and pay for it on the back end and see how costs doubled.

[@peeweeis]

Impossible. Your fixed operation cost exceeds $40.00, but it's fun to watch anyhow. I enjoy your antics. Bought my first Rx 3 in 74, so ya I get it!

This car better have a turbo on it when the engine gets rebuilt 🤣🤣🤣

[@brianmurray2377]

So that leak seal stuff is meant to fill in small passages where coolant could leak out. Coincidentally, there are many small passages in the brand new radiator you just installed. So you basically just paid $40 to clog up a brand new radiator.

[@rompdude]

man the 3 and 4 rotors sounds mad, but this sounds like a hair dryer lol

[@madlad_don2387]

i knew someone that had a cracked head and just used k seal, they took out the spark plug and just drove it for a while and after a night and another drive it sealed it perfectly, it's been that way for going on a year now.

Welding seems over kill. Looks like you could just use vice grips to remove the plug.

When I was very young 12 or 13 I worked at a salvage yard, stripping cars and chasing parts.

They would sell anything they could
