as a side note............I have learned 2 things during the radiator swap.
1-never believe the words "fits just like OEM".......If it is not OEM,then it NEVER fits right........Bit of adjusting and alot of CUSSING,but it fits now... 2-anytime you change from a single row to a 2 row,there is MUCH less room on the front of the engine and you quickly learn that there is a definite order to putting things back in. i.e:tranny cooling lines always need to go back on before installing the cooling fan.....and never forget that the lower rad hose goes behind the cooling lines,not above them.. Watching and helping Lee and Marc tear the car down taught me quite a bit more than I realized.......Shit comes apart alot easier when you've either removed it yourself or watched it being removed before. I am very pleased with my car now and look forward to getting the new gears installed and making a few passes on track day. Finally I feel like I can represent myself atleast better than ever before. and one more thing......NEVER try to tighten the lower hose bracket to the water pump with the car running.....Especially if you have long hair.....

No injuries other than to my ego..........
Kinda felt stupid when the belt grabbed my hair,but fortunately it only had a few strands and I was able to jump back before it took my head off. Lesson learned..............
