Thanks for the help, I've got the new radiator in and I should be able to finish it off tomorrow. It was pretty easy as described in the instructions (thanks!) The radiator from Radiatorbarn.com seems fine. I got the all metal one. It's not perfect, but definitely close enough in dimension and fit. For the price it's hard to beat, especially considering free shipping and arrival in AZ two days after ordering.

For a car with as much crap under the hood as the Integra, the radiator replacement was far easier than I would have guessed. When I'm all done I'd say I'll have less than 3 hours into it. If I did this all the time, I'm sure I could be much faster. Finding the right tools took most of the time (I really need to get my rolling tool chest out of storage!).

The most difficult part was getting the lower radiator hose off it's attachement to the engine. It attaches near the intake on the top of the engine, but there's stuff in the way that makes it difficult to get a tool on the hose clamp.

Thanks again, all!

Tim
