barricade88 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Really? Mine is cracked and I am not trying to spend over $100 for one. And I need to drop my oil pump, check my timing and make sure everything is dead on. And my dad left my mom so I have only basic tools.. Quote Link to comment

Of course you first have to remove the "cap", but then that's how you found out that it was a pin hole causing you all that trouble with temperature control. All bets are off if you have an aftermarket Aluminum radiator. Yes, South of the "Highline" and West of the Atlantic Ocean spelling, not "Aluminium". 1 Quote Link to comment
barricade88 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 So if I just melt a copper penny to the hole it will work? Doesn't it have to be silver solder? Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 So if I just melt a copper penny to the hole it will work? Doesn't it have to be silver solder? NO! You have it brazed on top of, or preferrably under, the leak. Brazing is not soldering. Solder is lead based unless you are using low temp silver solder and might be subject to differential corrosion and different temperature coefficients of expansion and reopen the leak. Brazing is copper / brass based, is compatible with the cap material, and if on the inside tends to be "self sealing" as it were, If on the outside, internal pressure would tend to seek the easy path to reopening the leak. A well brazed interior joint around the penny tends to be sealed all across the surface of the penny and provides little if any leak paths. Quote Link to comment
