 Post subject: Looking for Radiator!!!
PostPosted: Wed Oct 30, 2002 11:01 pm 
Ok y'all I went to get parts from another guy and he hooked me up with everything I need to do my disc conversion> Thanks Jim :wink: Anyway I was driving home and I noticed that the temp gage was running a little hot..... just on the high side of normal Well I kept an eye on it the whole way home. Well I get home and back her into the parking spot and shut her down and get out to take a look. I noticed water just running out from the bottom of the radiator havent really looked at it yet I will pull it this weekend to see if it's salvagable if not I'm looking to see if any of you guys out there who have ditched the 4 banger still have a stock radiator laying around that you dont need!! 8) Well anyway If you guys would just shoot me a message or an email. Hope that maybe one of the guys from Washington might have one? Well I have rambled enough hope to hear from someone soon ! my poor baby needs LUV !!!! :lol:

Well when I first got it I found a spot by the lower neck where it was cracked and I soldered it but for som reason it looks like it's leaking from higher up and runnig down which is the reason I'm looking for another if possible if not I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a cheap swap, what might be an easy swap from what other vehicles other than a Luv?

i don't know whats the stuff's called but it in a little canister.it's made strictly for sealing radiator leaks.it kinda looks like sand.check into the stuff before you buy a radiator.it really good stuff.i've used it on 3 of my past cars and after that,no leaks.
