Exclamation radiator help needed

Okay it is hot as always in texas, but anyways, the radiator cracked right at the cap. It's about 2 inches long. I wonder if there is any type of glue besides Epoxy(which didn't work) that i could put on it to keep running the car without having to put in a new radiator. And also if i do have to get a new radiator, can i just get the top part?? Help would be greatly appreciated. Oh yea, it's an 88 accord, and not mine.

You might try something really strong, like JB weld or similar product, but I don't know how long that will hold. The only long-term solution is to replace the radiator. And they don't make just the top plastic part, sorry.

welding it is not going to make it stronger as it will crack on the sides of the weld. I suggest you get a full aluminum radiator instead of the stock ones with plastic on the top.
