>>>It's true that aftermarket radiators are generally better, BUT a stock
radiator that is actually in good condition (which few of them are) will work
just fine. The question is, is your stock radiator actually in good
condition? I wouldn't bet on it.
Another very good solution for a guy halfway around the world, is to have
your stock radiator rebuilt with a new core by a local shop. You can save a
lot of money and get a good, quality radiator core that way. Several
people in PCNC have done just that and have had great results.
