Message	My welds on a few of the tubes that flow across to the big tanks on each side have started leaking. just a few drips here and there, but annoying enough because it sprays all over the engine once it hits the fan. My Chinese brand of this was marketed under JVTR racing. Same radiator , same factory, blah blah blah. It is 3 years old now so i guess i got my use out of it. Anything is better than the plastic end tanks on the stock one. Sorry did not mean to pee on anyones parade ,just giving you honest feedback as it has been on my car for 3 years without incident until recently with the welds on a few tubes that flow the coolant.
