butas sa radiator

[Recon Ryan]

Naka-jackpot ako today ... may tumalsik na bato sa radiator ko ... ayun butas. The radiator shop used a Pioneer epoxy (classic pink!) to patch the hole (mga .5 x 1mm lang naman). Will do na ba 'to, or do I have to replace the whole thing ... mukhang mahal eh ...

Matitipak din yan katagalan, classic epoxy's don't stand good against heat.

Ang pinaka mahusay na pang patch ng small gaps or holes ay hinang pa rin.

kaso aluminum yung radiator, bro. you know anyshop who welds aluminum radiators?

[ghosthunter]

you should have used metal expoxy... designed for high temperature.

[theveed]

oo either metal o marine epoxy. akin ginamit ko metal and so far (mga 3 months na) wala padin tulo hehe... Use the tubes (2 tubes, manual ihahalo) and not the clay.

[Recon Ryan]

should have, would have ... the shop I ran into with my cooling system bleeding to death didnt have any of those, except for the ALL PURPOSE* poineer epoxy.

*written on the package: can bond anything permanently in the universe except on aluminum where there is contact with water and coolant.

Since I cant remove the epoxy, and will just wait for it to bleed again ... how much is a new radiator?

Btw, thanks for the tip on not using the clay type. Was planning to do that if I get hit again.

Pag may ganyang small leaks, tanggalin mo yung radiator cap, it will take off the pressure inside and prolong your water to your next stop.

[jkyamog]

Careful lang if its hot, it might burst. Release the pressure before fully opening. I guess you are aware of it already, I am just making sure.

radiators aren't expensive na nowadays especially with locally produced brand new units... it may be cheaper in the long run and di ka pa magiisip kung may masisira or not.

I see ... your referring to OEM radiators right? Price range naman sir...

Btw, any idea what collant does Honda casas use? Green yung kulay eh.

Thanks.
