For less than $260 you can get a brand new triple core radiator fitted to your stock 1600 radiator top and bottom tanks. It has standard dimensions, but with 50% more cooling capacity, and will never allow an engine up to 2 litres na to boil. (If it does, its not a radiator problem). Spend the extra and forget the problem.
