I tried running my new engine yesterday, and discovered my radiator had lots of leaks. I brought it to a local radiator shop and he called today, it would work better as a lawn sprinkler than as a radiator. He quoted $350+tax to recore.

LMC, classic parts, etc all list radiators for a bit cheaper. Should I have my original recored or just buy new? It seems like there a bit too cheap, are they a decent quality? If you have one I'd be interested in what you think of it.

Thanks
