well it worked !!! yay, so happy, the solder and flux and brush was only $40, plus $15 for coolant and i got about 6 1 gallon things of distilled water, i kinda flushed my radiator it had alot of gunk and particles.. i shoulda flushed the engine too, but whatever.
Anyway, i used ab rass wire brush to clean the seam, and then added gobs of flux and burned it with a torch and got the metal really hot and just put the 50/50 solder on and i used alot, then i just kept the metal really really hot to allow it to get into any holes and so forth. Filled the radiator up with water on the ground and it isnt leaking out of the seem. Installed it, hooked all the lines back up, filled it up with 2 gallons of distilled water and about 1 1/2 of coolant and no leaks.. Drove it around for about 15 min, parked. still no leaks.. yay !!!
Btw i burped as much as i could out, but i noticed the overflow tank isnt one of those tanks that have a drain on them.. They are sealed... How will all the air get out of the radiator with a sealed system like this ?
Picture 1 and 2 is after i soldered it. can you see the new solder on the seam. And pic 3 is after i drove it for 15 min and it was idling parked for another 15 min. 0 coolant leaking and pavement is dry.. minus the leaking power steering box sigh lol.
