Has anyone repaired a heater core with good results? How did you do it?

nevermind... I can probably afford to spend the $20 for a new one ;)

For a lot of cars, getting TO the heater core is such an enormous pain in the ass that I'd probably not want to put anything BUT a new core in, just to not risk having to do the job again.

Then again, maybe some cars' heaters are built more reasonably than Datsuns were.

20 bucks? i'd just get a new one. as for repair, it depends on if it's aluminum or copper. i've repaired some of the copper ones when i worked in a radiator shop. if the copper ones leak where the tubes go in, it's easy to repair, but if the leak is in the core, ur probably better off just getting a new one.
