jensenracing77I picked up my radiator from where i took it. I think they would be just fine to do the work but i got asking around and found another place. I called them and feel MUCH better about them. One thing i did not like about getting it recored was that the top rail will not have the holes in it like the original one does. Not many people would ever know it is not original but it would bother me every time i open the hood. I didn’t know they could do it but they said they can use my top and bottom rail on the new core so it will look like original! They also said these originals were around 1/4 to 3/8 inch tubes and the new core will be 1/2 inch tubes but not be wider over all. Just less distance between the tubes front and back. They said the new core will have much more cooling capacity. They also agreed that my core could not have ever been roded out because it was much to weak to handles it.
The best part is that the new core is made in USA (Michigan) and i get to pick up the radiator this Friday! The other place said it could be up to 2 months. Now i wonder if that was because his cores came from China?
With explaining what i had going on and them looking at my radiator, they said they are 100% sure this radiator is my problem.
