Heater Core?

[VTFJ40]

I'm on my 3rd used heater core and it's got a pin hole leak. Anybody had any experience buyin new from CCOT or someplace else?

I also found this place- http://www.performanceradiator.com/

They're both about the same after shipping.

Anybody?

Thanks in advance-

I have seen the Performance rad fj40 heater cores and they are very high quailty, just like their rads. I recall under $100 for new.

Performance is headquartered in Tacoma, and have a great reputation, the local toyota dealer uses them as does almost every shop in town. My fj60 rad was as good or better then OEM and half the price.

I upgraded my rad in a Civic w/ one from Performance. I like it! It has been in for ~2.5 years and no issues...

A good rad shop should be able to button up your old core though...

That's what I did with the last used one I had and it pissed in a new spot.


I'm willing to give the Perf Rad a shot over the CCOT. Glad to hear somethin good.

Thanks

I bought mine from RockAuto.com. $58 shipped, my old core was so plugged with silver-seal that taking it to a rad shop was going to be more than what a new core cost.
