Radiator... Risk it?
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...d=151644122803
Think they fit K5's and decent quality. I just got an Advance Auto one coming but saw this after. Thinking bout returning the parts store one

Re: Radiator... Risk it?
Probably a Chinese knockoff and there are articles all over about the bad quality of these eBay radiators.

Re: Radiator... Risk it?
Is it worth a new engine? Even if it worked it is not worth getting stranded over. Can you tell how much I love aftermarket?

Re: Radiator... Risk it?
Just got the new rad from advance.... The core is only 1 3/4" deep. Think it's gonna cause it to overheat?
My temp gauge don't work, not sure if it's gauge, circuit board thing or sending unit. Sometimes it reads normal, other times stays all way left(cold) and even seen it sittin in the red.
