Another vehicle the rad got low and the stream pretty much melted the top where it connected to the hose. New rad was on backorder and I needed a car so I cut the melted but off at a clean angle and attached a chunk of ABS pipe using high-temp JB weld which I reattached the hose too after it set. I regularly checked it over the next 1-2 weeks until the shop got a new rad in and had no issues.

Pros: no issues
Cons: rad got low

OEM Toyota Engine radiator

My first new car was an ‘82 Toyota Celica. I put 3 radiators on that car within 10 years. The OEM radiator had a copper core and plastic tanks, held onto the core with a crimped clamp all around. I don’t think that they paid much attention to expansion rates and coefficients of expansion of different materials when they designed these, and the seals would eventually give out and begin leaking.

Cons: seals give out, frequent leaking
Vehicle: Toyota Celica
