Crimping a radiator side tank
I wouldnt waste my time. Look close at the crimps, they all cracked.little hairline fractures.
Mopar coolant=gabbage.
It turns into a silica-like deposit if left in rad too long,seepage into the gasket area will expand and force its way deeper,pushing the tanks away from core.
Not to mention the blockage.
I applaud your effort and creativity. Wonder if it was strapped with a couple rounds of ginormous hose clamps would work.
