hole in radiator..

[Vendor Defendor]

ah nuts, i noticed a puddle of anti freeze under my car... nice, just what i need.. so i take it over to my friends shop, and he pressure tests it to see exactly were its coming from... its coming out of the middle of the radiator...... so looks like im going to need a new one. (unless stop leak or something can fix it)... so where should i go to get a new radiator?

the car is mostly stock, its going to get some upgrades eventually, like injectors, I/C, turbo, fuel system so on and so forth... so should i get a stock replacement?

well help me if you can

I wouldn't use stop leak....if it plugs that hole, what other water passages will it plug up??? Unless you're building a race car and you need the additional cooling, your best bet is to call some radiator shops and see how much they will charge you to re-core it. They use your original end tanks, and replace the center core.

Call some local radiator shops and tell them you want to replace your core, ( or have it recored ). Tell them you want a 4 core and take them your old radiator and they will take your tanks off and put in a new core. That's what I did and it runs a lot cooler now. Cheaper than a new one and just as good. Did mine a while back and it was around a $ 165.00.
