Okay what about the core thickness? It meassures 1" and it supposed to be 1.25" does this mean its not a dual core? I'm mostly concerned about that. I bought this now so when the car is turbocharged i can keep things nice and cool and not even think about the radiator.

that is a dual core. a single core radiator is only like 1/2 an inch thick

Well I measured the radiator in my EX and its 5/8 so the dual core must be dual in comparison to a dx or something.
the little compartment for the brass nipples doesn't hold jack for fluid, I filled it to see how large it is. Thanks guys.

And Steve you -----, busy painting all week huh!? We had to have some stranger come hook us up w/the knock down this morning, I don't like strangers in my house or using my air compressor >:(

Is there supposed to be two seperate cores? There is only one but keep in mind that this is an aftermarket unit.
