I would tell you to have it recored.
Most radiators for $175 are aluminum/plastic ... and don't hold up long term.
That is, unless you have an extra 5 bills to spend on a radiator. I don't.
Then, by all means get a direct fit aluminum. Some day I will.

$175.00 one has lifetime warranty. I work in automotive field and are saving about 50%. Car will be driven about 2-3 times a month. radiator in there has lasted 25 years and has worked fine. Wasnt sure if recoring was much cheaper or not
