>>>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.
