Yesterday I was herding kittens!! I have the radiator out. There were
a couple of leaks in the tubes that I soldered. There are a few
extremely small leaks where the tubes enter the top tank. I am unsure
how to get heat, flux and solder in to the leaks. Any ideas?

It's been some time now that I hung around a shop and watched one of
the repairs I needed. I do recall the operation used a fair sized
flame for the heat part. BIGGER then one would get with any home
equipment. Seem to think the shop I used had a 1-1/2" to 2" diameter
gas torch nozzle he used to get the uniform heat needed for proper
soldering. And once he got started he had to do it all before
stopping.
