#2...copper is fine, but you should have put gasket shellac on it.
#1...I'd replace the intake, BUT any radiator stop leak crud will work great on a crack like that. there even used to be product called "Engine Weld" that was great for a cracked block....in a $50 car...chuckle, but it did work. Radiator Leak products can often plug up a radiator, especially if it is already partilly plugged. If you use something like this, use it until the leak stops, then drain the rad and refill with clean water and anti-freeze. By the way, cast iron is usually welded after first heating the casting up in an oven, so it can't be done in the car. It is a specialty practise with often uncertain results. |
