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?

you can do that, but you should probably set it up with an oilstat and a temp controlled cooling fan so that on a cold day it warms up in a normal amount of time and on a really hot day it doesnt get too hot if you're moving slow or sitting still.

I used J-B stick but it sucked. any suggestions? glue sucks at holding pressure, try plastic weld. -------------------- |
