There's a crack in my radiator.
The green line is where the fissure is.
Would there be any easy and cheap way to fix it?
I wanna put some superglue on it and try to fill the gap, would that work?
Thanks!

Just replace the radiator.
You can get all metal brass replacments with a lifetime warranty for $200-250 depending in where you buy it. They're a little heavier, but cool just as well as the stocker.
You don't want to go the cheap-fix route on your radiator. They're prone to go bad. If you fix that one hole now, another one will pop up.

just make sure i can hold 15lb+ of pressure,
otherwise if the weld failed, coolant will shoot out of there crazy

JB weld is an epoxy. if you use it just give it enough time to dry properly and it should hold just fine. its strong stuff
of course it would be better to get a new radiator though
i had a tear in my radiator and JB weld worked fine on it
