Radiator removal 94pt 8v92

I paid $3800 last summer for the re-core up here. Makes me feel bad reading your post Greg. Oh well, just money.

Radiator rodding quote $650.00 stewarts industrial radiator. Owner
Wally shop is one mile from CCW Riverside. recore is over two grand.

My rad is 60% blocked with rust-mud and only giving 10% of its
ability (claim two shops) I used Stewart because they came
recomended by several sources and his rodding price was $400 cheaper
than one other shop. Stewart tech and owner Wally asked me to bring
in the transmission cooler for a flow test and look. He ex-plained
that if the trans cooler is blocked (trans cooler is placed after
rad exit)it wont allow good flow and the rad will get backed up
also. Wally claimed that the OEM product is way good quality and
most issues requiring recore of that brand are from exterior
degrading (salt and road hazzard).

I dropped the trans cooler and will post pics of the guts. looks
like a catalitic converter, 400 journals.
