Subject: Re: Radiators- Recore or Repro?
Hugh,
I just upgraded mine to a 4-row core. The old original is 3 rows and I
do
believe that the higher capacity is allowing me to run cooler (haven't
had
any 95+ days with the new unit, so can't do a proper comparison).
My shop found a 4-row core that has the same fin count and is only
slightly
thicker than stock. Looks original but cools better (I think).
YMMV,
Peter
