Two very minor adjustments getting it in right, one, needed to move the air bag sensor back towards the engine about 1/2 inch and had to add shroud retaining hole for the stud on one side. Other than that it took about an hour and a quarter to install.

My old radiator wasn't leaking but was beginning to weep in a couple places and a radiator is cheaper than new heads (or more). 30 minute drive home at 87 degrees and the temp gauge never covered the N could always see the last part of the N. With the old radiator usually half the O was was showing, left side sitting in traffic and the right side while moving.

Just for fun we tried using the old radiator cap and it worked just fine, I used it to drive home with but will change it out for the new one and keep it as a spare.
