This problem comes up a lot on the diesel forum. The conventional wisdom over there is why risk your motor for a radiator that can be bought new for less than $200? At 600 the question may change. Some folks have tried gluing the neck back on and some folks have boughten some kindof metal sleeve to insert and glue, but you really don't want it breaking off out on the road where you might not notice it until you really get your motor hot.

Surely you can find a radiator for less than 600?
