Re: Stick welding aluminum

I got a part for my car that needs some adjustments made, not that big but they need to be fairly strong. I can't afford to buy another welder, and I I am kind of proficient with stick welder that I have.

Re: Some questions about a replacement radiator

Ok, the bottom pipe is almost always to hot to hold at around 150 or 170. It just empties itself within 10 miles of easyish driving in 80 degree weather

Crank counterweights

What do you all think about crankshaft counterweights?
Are they easier on your eingine by elemenating some vibration, or to they put too much weight on the shaft? I will be curious to see what you all think!

Ok, when I fill it to the top, it lowers until I can see the tubes in about 10 miles.

One more radiator question

If my radiator is clogged up, is that what causes an overflow? Does the lack of flow through the radiator make it to a builds up in the top tank and over flows through the overflow tube?

Re: Radiator problem found

Thanks for the advice, I think I left out alittle pertanent info: it is a flat tube radiator, I have reverse flushed it with a very hi volume hose but it still wont clear. Does the bottom tank solder off?
