Anyone else have **** luck like I do.
New ACP radiator. Maybe 800 miles on it.

That sucks. I've had things like that happen to me, also. Fix it and press on.

Totally frustrating! Don't get me started. Ditto with 'press on'

Found the defective area. The tank is not seated in this flange all the way in the section where it leaks.
These copper brass rads aren’t cheap.
I will say it worked very well, the car ran right at -185-190 degrees all day and could sit and idle as long as I wanted.

If you can't get satisfaction from the supplier, any good radiator shop can fit and solder it for you.
