After I have verified there are no leaks, I will drain the water, blow the system out with compressed air, and then fill it up with coolant and distilled water.

I am not putting my precious coolant in this thing until I know it is leak free.

I do have a few concerns about their recent repair. My dad went and picked up the radiator for me and I was shocked to see how dirty it was and that they used some sort of expoxy to do part of the repair this time. I really hope the thing holds.

The first repair looked so professional but it obviously wasn't fixed. The current repair looks so redneck. We will see if it lasts or not.
The last part of that made me smile.
