Great info! And I actually wondered about engines in new cars. Having never had a brand new car myself I always wondered if the buyers were warned of a break-in period on the engines!

Well, I just dropped my radiator off at the shop to get cleaned out. She was not flowing as well as she should! I should have done that from the beginning as I don’t think I’ve ever had an automotive project where I didn’t have to do something with a radiator cleaning or re-core…oh well!
If that's the original radiator Mike, guard it with your life. They seem to be made of gold!
"They seem to be made of gold!
Non-obtainium as Ira found out ...
It is the original! I know it was tough dropping it off but these guys have been doing stuff for me for the last 25 years or so so fingers crossed!
Good radiator shops are becoming hard to come by. The old guys have retired out, and they are not being replaced. Radiator shops and chrome plating shops are disappearing quickly.
Holy smokes! I just heard back from the radiator shop and they want $700 to re-core! Damn!
Whoa.... $600 brand new with a Brass Copper core from KW.
