currently, you have a single core radiator...right? if this is the case...and your worried about money, spend 160 from importautosalvage.com on a generic dual core radiator. i have one and it fits perfectly in the honda mounts and has been working just fine, plus it does have a guarantee.

its not worth overheating your motor because you're being cheap. believe me, its a lot less expensive when you have to swap or rebuild your motor because you cracked your head.
