Quick Radiator Question

Post by exile84 »

Does anyone know if the DE radiators are the same as the K8?
My radiator has a pretty decent size hole in it, and there are absolutely no mx-3's around my parts... probes, and 626, are all over the place. Haven't had a chance to make it to the junkyard. So any help would be greatly appreciated, cause the ol' mx is just sitting and i miss driving her. :(
Thanks guys!

Is it bigger than the Mx-3 rad?

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

The core in mine was about 3/8 of an inch thicker than the stock one, only bad was no drain plug?
