Saturday Night After Action Report

My car overheated after work. Turns out I have a hole in my radiator. All I picked up is a chill from sitting in an empty parking lot. Anyone know how to replace a 91 civic radiator?

You know, they make this liquid that's a bright green color you put in your radiator to keep the water from freezing. That way, your radiator won't bust when the temperature gets below freezing. It might be a good idea to learn about anti-freeze.

I'll quit being a smart ass now.

Call around to some autoshops like O'Reilly etc... and ask them how to fix it. You might be able to use some sort of sealant and not have to replace the radiator if the crack isn't too big.

So, how is that internet sarcasm thing working for you these days?

Anyway, this isn't a small problem. My radiator is hosed (god I can't believe i just said that) and probably needs to be replaced.

Chilton's books on car work are excellent places to start to learn how to fix your cars up.
