Default Ahh Freakazoid!

Talk about bad luck. Earlier I had a post about radiator tubes. I loosened the bottom clamp on the radiator and bled it out. installed the new upper hose and went to tighten the bottom back up and my screw driver slipped and nicked the damn cheap ass aluminum radiator. so now theres a hole in it. hopefully the radiator shop is open tomorrow. I have the worst luck with cars when I work on them. god damn this shit....

I actually did that with a small leak I had over 6 months ago, worked great and still no leak.

Make sure you only put in the white part (the yellow contains too much cholesteral and the radiator will have a heart attack).
