Ron, 
Where did you get the rad re-cored?  Somewhere in Michigan?

Dave,

I had the
Radiator recored at a shop in Burton Michigan.  I won't state the name 
of the
shop for fear someone will go there.  I wouldn't recommend him.  I picked 
up
the Radiator the day before leaaving for Vermont.  When installing it that
afternoon I noticed the the header tank had some irregularities that were'nt
there when I took it to him.  Come to find out that there were some severe
dents 
in the header tank that he had filled with bondo sanded and painted it
Black.  
Upon trying to install it I found that the core was twisted and I
could only 
install the top two fasteners and one lower one.  The other side
of the Rad was 
twisted an inch out of alignment.  I had that fixed today when
it was reversed 
flushed.  The shop I was at today is 4 Seasons Radiator
Repair in Madison 
Heights, Michigan.  They come highly recommended.  I was
impressed with their 
service today.  I took the Rad to them at 10:00 AM and
walked out with it 
repaired an flushed at 10:30.  Their price to recore my
BN6 Rad with a promise 
of no damage to the header tank is $195 out the door. 
Forty dollars cheaper 
than the other shop in Burton charged me 5 years ago.
