Default 1979 5sp Radiator

So I searched and found threads from a few years ago. So how has the experience with the CSF Radiator been over time? I found CHF for half the cost, but read about all aluminum Radiator failures due to the Radiator lacks flexibility.

I am between rebuilding my radiator or purchase all aluminum, but the option costs are vastly different.

Just get the CSF. I bought two in the last two years for both my cars. Expensive but they fit.

I tried to repair mine twice with Rogers plastic end tanks and seal. Ended up going with a CSF from him and it worked and fit great

I had two 928 Motorsports radiators that both developed leaks within about 2 years. However, I've had my CSF I bought used from 928INTL in February 2021 and have had no issues at all. Plus the fitment was much better than the one from 928MS.
