Radiator Help!! PLEASE!!! I was trying to pull my radiator out today (by myself, stupid me)and I broke one of the plastic hose fitting off the side of it. don't know what the hose went to. It's the hole right below the fitting by the cap, and to the left of the yellow sticker. I was thinking maybe I could screw some kind of brass fitting into the hole (if they even make a fitting like this) but I don't know if that would work. What do you guys suggest I do? Did I ruin my radiator?

the cheapest thing would probably be to get a new side tank put on at a radiator shop, unless you can find a way to thread a brass hose barb in there if you can get it to seal...just better than replacing the whole radiator.

if im not mistaken, i think it mite go to the TB. coolant port, and the small tubes that go between the heads.
i think you could try to plug that port on the radiator, and the small tubes
hope that helps
