Review on Spectra Premium CU1318 Complete Radiator by John Kennedy

This was the perfect replacement for my 1995 2.2L Camry. I bought it with Gates 21963 and 21964 radiator hoses and a SuperStat Stant 45758 thermostat (I also had to buy a thermostat gasket). Pros: My radiator came with a new cap which was nice as I didn't have to buy one. separately. The radiator was secured in a box to prevent movement and all openings on the radiator were capped or sealed to prevent debris from entering. Cons: My cooler came with curved fins on both sides. Being aluminum this didn't surprise me too much, but when I compared it to a broken heatsink (it was new in 2005) it actually had more damaged fins than the old one. The number of curved fins was probably about 2%. I'm not very picky and installed the radiator anyway, but next time I might buy it at the local auto shop for $2 (like I did the old one) and make sure the fins are straight. After reading a previous review that said the portion of the radiator dedicated to the reviewer's transmission oil was blocked, I did what the other reviewer said and blew out the hoses. Just to be sure.
