Re: Replace or Fix Damaged Radiator

Never scrap good Harrison tanks, especially 4-core. New cores can always be done. Don't listen to the "costs more to fix than replace" BS. Not saying don't buy a new radiator, that's your decicion. I'm saying don't scrap the old one. It's worth something to someone if the tanks aren't shop...and most aren't.

My original was not flowing well and my old school radiator guy doubted the core would survive a rodding. A new core would cost about the same as whole new radiator. From what I've seen, replacement quality is not so great. But rather than re-core the original, I had another one I had him go through. Been running it for years since.
