The radiator is brand new though. Its only 2 core bUt it should still be sufficient..my mechanic gave it to me anyway so im sure its the right one.
You think this could be a clogged rad though? There was a bit of rusty sludge in the water pocket before i installed this motor. I did flush the system before I put in the new rad but im not sure I did a good job..ill have to try flushing it again
