    Default Best Radtiator..??

    Hi,
    The radiator in my L67 VT has shat itself and over heated a few times causing two valves to burn out, i have my car booked in to get the valves sorted out and to get a new radiator, but i was just wondering what would be the best possible radiator for my car? like brands and what not, I've been looking at the PWR radiators and they seem pretty good, I'm after a pretty heavy duty radiator to so the damage doesn't REOCCUR!

    Cheers,
    Rhys.

    PWR are probably the best going around, but they are normally around $900.... so not cheap.

    Unless the engine is heavily worked id say something else is causing the problem. Thermostat, possibly water pump or a blockage in the engine.

    The L67 doesnt produce enough heat to overwhelm the standard radiator (provided the cooling system is working properly).

    Yeah theres a split in one of the sidetanks that i didnt notice so i'm thinking that was the cause i only recently replaced the thermo so i doubt its that but thanks for the idea about checking the water pump.

    Any other brands or ideas?
