Be careful what you rely on to keep your engine cool. If it looks to good to be true, it usually is.

What engine is this for? I thought i had a perfect radiator for my engine, looked right, all the connections seemed to work and all, but it turned out to be wrong, the radiator was missing the hose connections on the bottom for the transmission fluid to flow through and be cooled, granted it may not be so for your engine

even after shipping and everything, it comes out to be $50 shipped for a brand new radiator. It's for a stock 97 civic LX. You think i should give this a try, or buy one from autozone for $110 with lifetime warranty? tahnks

Aluminum disperses heat more efficiently...so the aluminum is better
