Radiator was leaking in the area around the bottom hose connection. Fins were soft in several spots, overall the entire core had a bit of a green tinge to it. Already had one repair done shortly after the last recore just about 22 years ago. So I bought the spectra-premium CU961 and it was utter garbage. Numerous things wrong with it including the country of origin... Rockauto tried to tell me I bought the wrong radiator, uh no retard its a POS and doesnt fit because its made wrong. spectra sweared it was all good. A compromise was reached where it was returned and half the shipping was covered. one more part I will never order online again.
Guy @ napa told me about a radiator shop about 45 minutes away. Dropped it off and picking it up this coming thursday. Full recore and restore to the tune of $385.70 :scared: Well atleast I know what I am getting and it comes with a better warrenty than SPI piece of chinese made garbage.
