For Those Switching to Double Core Radiators (Single Wide Core)
Allright guys, a stock Civic Radiator is 5/8" Thick Copper Core.
Mine just cracked so it's time to replace it. Which do you guys think is better?
A. All Aluminum Radiator w/ one wide 1" Core
B. All Aluminum Radiator w/ double core (two 1/2" Cores)
If you add it up, it's still adds up to one inch, so it's the same right?

Re: For Those Switching to Double Core Radiators (97civicdx)
What are you guys basing this one?
If you think about it, a 1" Wide Core Provides less restriction of the water.
But a dual 1/2" core have more weaves which might suggest that it allows the air cool it better?
So I'm wondering which is better?
More restriction and better heat dissapation.
or Less Water Restriction but sligtly worser heat dissapation.
