92 Accord has leaking radiator
I have a 92 Accord LX with the 4 cylinder, 4-spd automatic, and 130K
miles.
I noticed today that about 5" of the seam along the upper radiator
tank is split and leaking badly. Can this be repaired or is my best
bet to simply replace the radiator? Is there anything particularly
difficult about replacing the radiator on this car? I don't yet have a
service manual, unfortunately, but tools and experience (on other
vehicles) isn't a problem.
If the radiator needs to be replaced, I guess I have the option of
genuine Honda parts (about $220 at Majestic) or aftermarket (about $75
at HondaAutoBodyPartsStore).

Re: 92 Accord has leaking radiator
Hard part is un-hooking the wires at the connectors for the fans. Be
sure to use a flare nut wrench on the cooler lines. Leave the lower hose
connected to the old radiator till you get it out. Take it loose at the
thermostat housing. Be VERY careful when reassembling the fans to the
new radiator. Some have soldered bolt connections that can break and
leak. I got my last one at Parts America. Lifetime guarentee, and it had
plastic brackets for the fan bolts. Worked fine for me. bob

I suggest that you check the yellow pages for under "radiator shops".
Visit a couple of them and ask them if they can install an after market
radiator in your vehicle. Radiator repairs on old radiators are not a good
idea since in about two years or less--it will probably start leaking
again.
