Just had this happen this weekend to my old man's 09 RTX SE, hot hot enough to shut itself off, track slightly ripped and twp side by side studs torn slits in the exchanger. Should we try welding? Is the inside of the cooler one large open bay or are there channels? .

hope the head didn't warped

How many lbs should I do the test at?

Most vehicles run around 16 psi. It should say on the rad cap what the operating pressure should be.
