DC5 overheating
I swapped a k24a2 into my 04 rsx type s and it overheats. I am using my k20a2 radiator, im not sure if I should get a new one or what would be the best course of action. Flushed it today Nov. 7 and it ran way better for a while and then the coolant started to reach high temps again.

Is your coolant reservoir overflowing?
Should not be the radiator. I'd do a leakdown test at this point. I am not sure if you got a blown headgasket K24 or not.
