Review on TYC 96075 Replacement Heater Core by David Urbanski

The heater core itself was the right size and didn't leak, however there were issues with the hard plumbing. First, the top lead from the heater core was longer than the OEM heater core, which prevented the lead from going into the recess on the heater core housing where it was intended to be secured with the OEM retaining clip. Also, the fit on both hard lines wasn't precise enough to ensure a leak-free connection (yes, I used the included o-rings and clamps). I had to remove the flared ends from both lines with a pipe cutter and connect the two rigid lines with a short length of heater hose and clamps. Normally I would return this poor quality product but I needed to get the heater working in my car as soon as possible. I would not recommend this brand of heater core unless you are willing to improvise with the installation. Although I was disappointed with this heatsink I purchased a fan motor from the same manufacturer which fits snugly and runs flawlessly.
