Radiator?

[gaberfb76]

So I have a slight leak in my radiator and would like to replace it before I have a problem. Can any one tell me a good brand name to buy or should I just go to the local carquest and pick up an OEM?

I would just stay with OEM

I got one off of ebay for like 50 bucks brand new OEM spec.

I would just get one from a local parts store with a good warranty.

The mounts on the top of my radiator snapped off somehow, the metal tabs on the radiator not the brackets attached to the frame of the car. IS this a huge problem ? It doesnt move around much but should i be concerned?

You should come up with something, even temporary, to keep your radiator from banging into the frame. Zip ties, wire, make a new post out of plastic epoxy/jb weld, etc. It's not worth it to leave it, if you start leaking coolant, your ride won't be reliable.

I paid $99.96 yesterday @ advance auto parts. Its wayy clean, I'm a stingy ass dude, I waited, and waited for jy rads and jus gave up. I paid for a new 1, comes with life time warrenty, also came with rad cap, and 2 new ac line links. I don't have ac so I didn't use it. Took me 30min that included cleanin up the antifreeze all that leaked all over the fukin place from my old rad.

OEM repl is good, but the Carquest ones only have a 1 yr warranty if I remember correctly. For about the same price, you should be able to find an all-metal one with a lifetime warranty if you look. The OEM ones always end up leaking at the plastic tank ends.

I just looked on www.radiatorbarn.com , and they have an all metal one for CB7s shipped for $117.

I have a temp fix but i was just curious. Its not banging at all and it barely moves. I just noticed it yesterday when i was cleaning parts of my engine bay!

hey man my rad does the same thing. its not connected at the top on the passenger side at all. been like that for several months and no probs so far. if yours is like mine i don't think it moves around enough to even matter.....

You could get some plastic epoxy for less than 4 bucks, mold it like clay into a new post, and stick it right where the old one was. Clean before you adhere it, then sand and paint it black after it dries. Done, cheap, easy and reliable.

this is actually what me and my friend cooked up and did so thanks!

If money is an issue than I would stick with the cheap oem radiator. If money is not an issue I would spend the money and buy a KOYO.

Hey and what about the godspeed one isn't that one good enough, its aluminium and lighter and smaller than the other, think is a good option!
