    thermo crack-\

    I cracked my thermostat housing cause I was too damn inpatient
    now things are worse than before! I bought this adhesive that I will try but any other suggestions from people... I am planning on swaping out my engine so im guessing this will be irrelevent when that happens but could the housing be welded?

    you had the thermostat clocked in the wrong possision , put the t-stat in the housing first next time , then put on head, i've got a few if you need one.
    PROPOGATE! AND FACILITATE!

              Could be welded if you know someone who can do aluminum.
              Otherwise, I'd just replace it and count it as a lesson learned.

                  so what radiators would work with our cars? when i get a donor for bp could i just use that radiator I am assuming? I dont feel like putting any more money into the car now until it gets a new engine..

                    You need a radiator too? Thought you just cracked the thermostat housing? Anyway, you would use a festy radiator with the swap unless you do something custom. A lot of people go with an auto festy radiator for better cooling too

                      I did just crak the housing but my radiator smokes sometimes and leaks a bit so i would want to upgrade eventually.

                          Yes and no. You don't have to swap the radiator unless you just want to.
