Default JTIS for replacing a 97' XK8 radiator?

I have a radiator leak on my 97' XK8 radiator, can someone post the JTIS on how to replace it? Thanks!

Is there some kind of epoxy I can use to stop the leak until I can get it replaced? It drips and then it steams from my hood after light driving....

JB Weld makes an epoxy called WaterWeld that is designed for use with water applications and takes high heat well. I used it on the plastic side tanks on my leaking radiator.

Probably will hold forever, but I had to replace anyway as it developed another leak further down and I decided the tanks were too compromised to trust.

And here's a thread on replacing the radiator, which includes the JTIS pdf.

Where can I find the JB Weld Water Weld and I looked at all the threads but wasn't sure if it was the same as I have a 97' and that was for a 2001?
