Default Re: Pesky radiator leak...can't decide what to do

Replaced the radiator on my accord last summer - had a shop to do it -
was busy at the time - took them 3 radiators before they got one that
did not leak - Hecho in Mexico - Bumper to Bumper product - replace it
cause if you overheat an aluminum block you will also probably warp the
head - really hard to get a head gasket to stay on after the head gets
warped - even if you have a very good machine shop "mill" the head. I
would not take this risk. Oh - carry a couple of gallons of water with
you in case your leak becomes bigger and you get caught on the road.
