        If you can clean it up good,and you know how to soilder it should not be a problem,if you are not experienced take it to a radiator shop

          I had to do some soft-solder reinforcing on my radiator, not a problem if you get it clean and bright. But I agree with Tommy, if you are inexperienced at this just take it to a radiator shop.

          Also, I would install a coolant recovery system – it will keep air purged from your cooling system, which should be air tight.

            I had to reflow the joint on mine, piece of cake.

              Prep & experiance is key…… but yes.

                Take it to a radiator shop. I didnt have much luck fixing mine and actually made it worse. I took it to a radiator shop and for $80 they rebuilt the whole fill neck/top part of the radiator and pressure tested it sealing one leak. But like the other guys say, if your confident in soldering go for it.
