Want to give a heads up to all those looking into replacing their radiators. My 92 legend was at 90k, so I changed the water pump, timing belt, and radiator. Drove it in California for 1/2 year no problems. Shipped the car to NY (long island) and the radiator fins started leaking on both the left and right sides after the first winter in NY. Apparently the sudden drop into subzero temperatures & back up into 40s/50s at times during the winter caused many micro cracks in the fins. However, after I used prestone's radiator sealant, the problem is fixed.
I would not recommend buying a CSF all aluminum radiator for our cars if you live in an area with rapid and extreme temperature changes.
