The plastic core, when exposed to heat changes, expands and contracts at different rates than the metal element. As I understand, the most common problem for Honda radiators is that they crack right along the top where the metal clips over the plastic. At least, that's where mine and every other honda owner's radiator (that I've seen) has failed
yea that's the spot, the hard driving also contributes to it too right?
