: thanks, Dave, but a used one is likely to be just as corroded and fragile as the existing one. Plus the labor to remove and reinstall is not trivial...
: Mine is steel (1953, Korean War copper shortages). How do the copper ones hold up? The copper cores don't rust. Acids in the coolant can corrode them, but it's unusual. They clog up with junk the same as the steel ones. One thing about old copper cores, though, is that they become brittle from all of the heating/cooling cycles over the years. The last time I had to have one, I reworked a core for a truck radiator and fit it to the old tanks. It's a lot of work.
