Rock through radiator

[traildevil67]

Does anyone know if this would be repairable?
This is an advanced adapters 4 core brass copper.

ex girlfriend decided to spin tires on a gravel road and put a rock into it.

Or maybe this thread should be in the v8 conversion topic

doesnt even look like its leaking.

you could bend it back into shape a braze it just to be sure.

Pull it and take it to a decent radiator repair shop. They can either rebend things back in shape, and fix any holes. Or they can just eliminate any sections that are beyond repair. (basically they lance out the row, for lack of a better word and seal the ends) They normally have the tools and talent to do this right, and normally a huge 'dunk tank' to submerge the radiator in water, and then apply a light amount of compressed air (normally equal to your cap's rating) to locate any leaks that may be hidden.

S-

Yeah it i leaking. as soon as the thermostat pops it starts spraying all over the place. Mostly to the engine.

What a b*tch. I'd just try to bend it back into shape.

+1 take it to a radiator shop, most of them will be able to repair it, I took the radiator off my CRF450R to a shop after someone crashed into me at the track and put a hole in it with their handle bar, lol they fixed me right up and that shit was mangled

Yeah im going to rip it out tomorrow after work and see what the local rad. shop can do with it.
