Andrew,

If it used to run cool and the core is good, then all it needs is to be
tanked, soldered (i.e. hole repaired), and pressure tested.  Shouldn't cost
more than $75.  If it needs to be re-cored, then absolutely go for the 3-row.
The increase in price from a 2-core is well worth it.

I had a high density core put in. No more problems.

Hey Listers,

Took the car out for a  spin this last weekend and about 1/2 WAY through
the
drive I noticed  the car starting to overheat so I headed home. When I
got home
I  checled the front of the car and uh-oh...

It looked like coolant had  been splashed all over the grille. After the
car
cooled off enough I  attempted to put some water back in and upon
checking, saw
a nice hole  rght in the front of the radiator streaming water like it
was
taking a  leak (literally).

So it looks like the radiator is shot. So to the list  I ask what is the
best
course of action?  Do I just take it to a  radiator shop to fix or
should I buy
a three row radiator? Do three  rows make that much of a difference over
the
stock unit?

Any  help appreciated.
