Hi Mike,

Couldn't prove it by me.  This is the first time in 30 years that I've so
much as walked into a radiator shop.

The man at the shop said "The header was cracked and can not be reliable
repaired.  It is the part that the tubes are soldered to and had a crack down
the center."  What he told me today is about as much as I know about radiator
construction.

Anyway, a new core is on the way and it should be ready next week.  Here's
hoping!

Best regards,
