Ok, so $20 later I have my unrepairable radiator back in my hands, at least it has been dipped and flushed. These guys really pushed a recore, not even wanting to discuss the condition - just that it needed recored. So, I'm thinking that since I can weld and solder, i have the basic knowledge I need, why not try to repair it. What's the works I can do ruin a bad core?
So anyway I'm looking for guidance on tools to repair it. will my trigger style Weller Solder iron work? I'm guessing that I want plumbing solder rosin core or paste flux? figured I'd toss it into a light colored pan of water and pressurize it and see where it bubbles.
Tips/hits/tool suggestions apprecaited before I dig in tonight?
