    Post Which Radiator?

    I am going to buy a new radiator for my VK pretty soon but after reading around i have found that some people think that more cores is not always better.
    Anyway all i want to know is whether to go a 3 core or the slightly more expensive 4 core, i would have thought the more the better...........
    just a stock 202 black motor

    v8 radiator wont fit the inlet and outlet pipes are in the wrong positions.

    If you have aircon a good 3 core should be just fine esp on a stock 202

    Yeah the old girls got air con and when you turn it on it decides to run hot, and on hot days run hot without it on. the old Rad just about stuffed, its missing a lot of cooling fins due to rust, and was slow to flush out when i pulled it out, so im thinking time to upgrade.
    Thanks for your advice.
