Temporary radiator?

Hey guys I just took my radiator into the shop to get serviced and get a tiny hair line crack fixed, but it wont be ready until monday and my car has to go into the panelshop on monday to get a minor smash repair fixed. I have another running v8 torrie with the same radiator in good working order, is there any problem in putting that in there and reusing the coolant in that radiator for a little while? It'll be at the panel shop for a week with the other radiator in it. Just making sure I aint going to get any chemical reaction or side effects from using older coolant. and yes I'm in a rush to get this done before x-mas

Why not just use water? Save you stuffing around.

Agree with Jewy just fill it with water for the time being, for a week or so it's not going to affect a cast iron engine like a 308.

you coudl very quickly convert it to methanol...no need for rad then.

failing that, just use water.

Heh yeah never thought of the old water, cheers guys works the treat

lc boi I like your way of thinking
