Best reputable source for a new radiator?

Just curious, mine apparently has a ton of sludge in the bottom of it.

Mechanic also told me yesterday that whoever the PO had do the timing belt last had the cam retarded one tooth.

I've had good luck with radiator-ac-imports on Ebay. They ship quickly, and package the radiator well--it comes double boxed and bubble wrapped.

I picked up a new all aluminum rad on EBAY for $205 shipped that appears to be the same ones sold by IE, CARR, Zionsville and others are selling for $400 plus shipping...

Very nice quality and slightly larger capacity. Also was packaged great...

Thanks guys. That's exactly what I wanted to know, if the eBay ones were worth buying.

I wouldn't be surprised if it isnt the same exact thing, especially after the IE exhausts were discovered on ebay for like $195 or something.

autohausaz.com got me a new Nissens for my E28 for like $175... I think they went up slightly since then though.

My brand new Nissens radiator core started to seperate from the upper end tank after about a year of use.... fwiw

Replaced with BEHR and it's been good so far..

Pretty much what I thought. I was wondering why a low mileage M20 with good compression and properly adjusted vavles wasn't quite as peppy as I would have been led to believe.

Either way at least it will be right now. Soon I'll ditch the DINAN chip for a MarkD and bigger injectors.
