Default Radiator solder

You don't drop the whole radiator into a tank!

It is a spot treatment. Where the hole is.

This was taught to me by a Master Mechanic who had NASCAR grade background.

Consider what happened to me :

Driving my Blazer down the highway at 65 MPH, the front engine block section
of the water jacket blew out. It was a massive gas cloud covering up the front
of the truck. It was lucky I was able to move to the right by 5 lanes.


If you blow your radiator at high speed - you will loose the engine block like I
did. wanna try - going to go for it or wait ? Not me.

You usually know things that I don't know, so please tell me. How are you
going to silver solder a radiator that is assembled with soft solder?
