I'll fix it again tonight and let it sit for 36hours. hopefully its solved then...because I would hate to take the complete rad out, because I think the tranny cooler is also in there.

is it hard to disconnect and then reconnect the tranny cooler?
it dosn't look like there is an external cooler(usally out front of regular rad)
no pressure when not running
so just the two lines (yellow)undo
and i baggie the ends so they don't drip and just a strip of duck tape over the tranny fittings on the rad to lift it out
when i've used the JB i've found more thinner coats work better
but havn't used it on a rad
