Message I just blew out my 2nd radiator in 6 years. It was constructed with plastic
tank ends and that, of course, is what blew off the top of the radiator.

So I need some advice.

Is it worth replacing with an OEM radiator if one is even available. (It's a
'92 2+2 AT.) If not, what brands have people been happy with and what
brands should I avoid like the plague?

What an f'ing pain in the ass. I'm already behind in replacing my entire
front-end (the last one was replaced not 3 years ago and that wrench
refuses to make good on any of it) and my engine is leaking copious
amounts of oil but I can't afford the cost of lifting the plenum so I just
keep adding oil...

In fact, any chance that the oil leak could have caused the radiator to
blow? While I doubt it because the temp gauge was at normal until the
top of the radi popped, still thought I'd ask the experts.

Thanks in advance for all advice.

Best,

CJ Green
