Title: Pin hole in radiator
Post by: Silver duck on March 22, 2013, 05:02:33 PM
On my 2007 monster s4r testa. I have a pinhole in the radiator. Can a auto rad repair shop fix it. The pinhole is in one of the cores that go across the radiator.

If they can do an aluminum auto radiator they should be able to handle it.

The rad shop said they epoxy them. New one costs 1800

The material I'm familiar with is some sort of heat activated epoxy applied with a torch.

If you can locate the leak JB Weld will work fine. You need to clean and sand the area for it to work well.
