Hi,
  I have a TR4 with the long neck radiator.Around the
neck is a small crack.I had the radiator rebuilt about
five years ago at which time this particular area on
the radiator was really bad.I tried to replace it with
a TR4 A radiator that did not have the filler neck but
it would not fit.Thats why I had the old radiator
rebuilt.It was pretty expensive and lasted only 5
years.
I don't want to have to take the radiator out to have
it rebuilt again and I'm looking for a shortcut.
Is there any kind of putty available that I could just
apply to the area that might seal it and prevent it
from cracking further?Or have aftermarket radiators
become available that would fit my 62 TR4.
Also I am now on my third exhaust manifold they all
develop cracks after a few years.
Are these cracks fixable or preventable or do I need
to keep buying new manifolds every 3 years?
Should I just have a header made or are they prone to
cracks as well?
Thanks
Roxy
