Haha...My fear is simply ordering the new rad is the smarter way to go. Why waste the time fighting the inevitiable.

Hey, will a lot of bent fins cause this too? I was just looking at mine and there are like entire sections bent...

that is probably the condensor you are looking at. It sits in front of the rad and takes up the whole area. It shouldn't cause the issue idling..it would keep the car warmer while moving.

hey bill. it is concern. you have a gorgeous car...why kill it? ;) hey..i had bad signal..what can i say. :duh: in any case, if your car is heating up at idle, it is going to cancel the positive cooling affects of your ceramic-coated manis...so i'm curious to know when and how you fixed it. look at all the guys that care about you...or at least your bonnie. ;)

EXCELLENT! I am fine while moving. I really didn't want to bend those *#*$ back in place.

I think that's why Bob didn't come to NEBF...he volunteered to fix mine.
