Hi everyone, my 96 accord EX needs some radiator work and I want to order some parts from the US..

Is there any quick and easy way to identify what brand of radiator I have without taking the entire thing out?

Thanks

 

On the upper tank of the original radiator in the '95 Accord there was a squared off area with a flat spot where 'DENSO' was stamped in yellow ink, along with some part numbers. The replacement unit from otterzone had the same style upper tank, the core was made out of AL rather than CU, and did not have any lettering/stamping on the tank.

 

Thanks for the reply mike, but to make it complicated in my case:

Over the years I replaced both of the plastic tanks with a brass replacement.. Therefore whatever branding and part numbers would have been lost..
In addition to that, I have been told that fans with 5 blades came on the Denso arrangement, but the fan may have been changed as well before I got the car from my father...

Are there any other ways such as diameter of the filler neck or shape of the radiator cap etc?

 

What metal does the core of the radiator have?

 

If I am not mistaken, it is the original aluminium that came with the vehicle, I just changed the two bottles...

 

the Toyo and Denso rads use different caps. if you look at the oreilleys auto parts website you can identify by looking g at the pictures of the caps. im on my phone so I don't know if this link will work but here you go.
