    Ha sounds like they're not quite up to the same name that NADRAD seemed to make for themselves...do they make anything like they used to these days

    Why would an "expert" do that if it's worse off. It's not exactly going to be blocked up again for ten years or so anyway...I don't think it was ever done before now.
    what would you rather have a radiator that will work great 100% of the time under 100% of conditions but only last that way for 2 years OR a radiator core that works great 100% of the time under 98% of conditions and last that way for 5 years or more?

    its not like you're going to "accidentally" find the limits of the 3 core radiator. Id even go so far as to say that you'd have to be driving like a complete idiot with no concept of vehicle sympathy. If thats you go buy a toyota or a nissan.

    Every new(old) Landy I buy, 1st thing I do is get the cooling system checked and either flush/rod or re-core radiator.
    Its a bit like a heart by pass.
    Gives the whole system a new lease of life.
    Big lifts, winches and almost any other accessory does not come close to a good working cooling system.

    Thats my view and has worked for me for many years.

    Hope the rest works out for you now also.
