Why is it better to have a radiator rotted out (or rodded out, as
someone pointed out) than to simply have it recored? Is it really much
cheaper? The rodding out process sounds a bit labor-intensive. We had
our radiator recored, fitted with a new bottom tank, (and painted
black without asking) for about one hundred dollars last year (in
Allentown, PA where mechanic labor is cheaper than in Boston or San
Francisco, and where we happened to be at the time that our radiator
sprung a large leak).
