ka radiator broke

[JesusLikesKFC]

anyway top part of my radiator broke and im worried that some of the plastic might end up in the block, to be more specific its the top extension where the main coolant line runs to the block. is this posible or am i just paraniod? wish i had a koyo aluminum so i woulnd have this problem.

If its that big, it will either get caught in the radiator core, or ground to bits in the water pump. Either way, if your radiator is loosing chunks of plastic, its time to replace. Coolent comes back into the radiator from the top.

for now im just gonna go ahead and get another ka rad. then latter i guess ill just get a koyo hehe. its just pretty annoying that it happened today, no ride to work or anything.

or you can always go with the copper koyo

i have it and it works great. i have the mechanical fan with no shroud and my temp stays a few ticks below halfway.

for now ill just go with stock, later the koyo. hopefully tom i can pick one up for 40 along with a kit to mount the electric fan. i just need it running agian.

there is an air bleed screw on top of the line above the power steering pump.
