Crimps Aluminum
Is it possible to remove and reseal the top plastic tank of a Dodge Neon radiator?
The dang thing has a small leak where the tank seals to the aluminum radiator. There's a crimped metal band that holds the tank to the radiator, and rather than replace the whole radiator, I want to at least try fixing it. Radiator Stop Leak is out of the question. I don't want that stuff coursing through the system.
There is a special tool(or two) to perform that function. Some radiator shops have them and will use them upon request. Some will not use them due to the nature of the material involved(aluminum) as they don't always seal back when removed. The first radiators with the plastic tanks had brass cores, and it would work about 3 times. Then metal fatigue from bending the metal in and out would set in and the metal would break.
I have had good luck a few times by just crimping the edge where it is leaking with a set of vise-grips. Do not set them too tight to start and just crimp enough to stop the leak. Save up for a radiator, because eventually you will have to buy one.
