Hey, so my old radiator basically was already cracked. I put a new coat of J-B stick on to cover the cracks. I just ordered a Silla radiator. Is that all I need to install it? or will I need to order other parts?

make sure you use distilled water (reduces the corrosive properties of water)
and a water wetter type product. It really does help to cool down the water temps a good amount  my friend is running 50/50 mix and i'm running water wetter only he'll be ~220* and i'll be 18X-192* |
