fan smashed into 3 row radiator
put an Al 3 row radiator in and drove fine for a few months. Noticed a leak, saw it coming out a hole where the mechanical fan hit the back of the radiator. Any ideas as to how? Engine mounts are okay, trans mounts is solid, fan clutch is good. I replaced with an OEM radiator now, there is about .5" difference between thickness. Tried to weld the Al one, no luck. Can i pinch the leaky tube off and still use this radiator or is it just scrap now? Any ideas as to how the engine lurched front?! I cant figure it out:/

Brand new oem rubber mounts, or rubber oem mounts that have seen many miles?
After market "rubber" mounts are still more solid than oem rubber.
