Re: radiators
expand? i would think the cap would blow or leak bad before the radiator blew out. I have a beat the **** up old fluidyne im still using LOL.

Re: radiators
I'd look into figuring out why it's pressurizing like that before spending the money on an expensive radiator. Chances are if it's ruining any radiator, it will do the same to a $300+ radiator just the same. By the way, c&r is in Mooresville, if you take that route.

Re: radiators
I had the same issue, blew the upper radiator hose, than the lower radiator hose. Got Samco hoses, and the core started to expand. Never looked into it further, or figured out the cause because I dropped a valve at the track.
