EX Radiator Upgrade?

Is there a manufactor or a existing radiator that is dual core that I can use in my AUTO ex? I really believe upgrading the coolant system will help prevent blown headgaskets.

Re: EX Radiator Upgrade?

A radiator upgrade is a waste of money IMO unless you race the car hard in hot weather. A better investment is an engine temperature watchdog that will start buzzing as soon as temperature rises over the middle if you worried about head gasket getting blown

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

This. The radiator is not the usual cause of the failure. Overheat does not normally occur until AFTER the head gasket is blown and has pushed coolant out of the radiator.
