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.

Subject: [Roadsters] Losing my cool
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.
