    Guys, ask ko lang, kasi yung radiator ko, puro kalawang na kaya yun daw dahilan ng madaling pag overheat ko, yung kalawang daw na yun yung nagka-clog. so kailangan ko daw ipa overhaul yung radiator. wala naman daw leak, kaso natatakot ako na baka dahil sa mga previous overheat nya may epekto din ito sa radiator. naisip ko, gagastos din naman ako kung ipapa overhaul ko yung radiator diba, what if palitan ko na lang ng bago yung radiator palitan ko ng evercool instead na ipalinis ko sya? may napagbebentahan din ba ng 2nd hand na radiator? para benta ko na lang ung sakin tapos bili ako bago. parang ugrade ba.. meron b nun? thanks po uli!

    kung ala pang butas sa gitna--pa-general overhaul mo na lang--1500 lang pinaka mahal na general(top-bottom is removed), ang bagong radiator mura na ang 3thou..

    pagkapalinis mo, kung plastic ang ibabaw/ilalim--papalitan mo ng bronze para mas ok.. be sure na nandyan parin yung daluyan ng atf sa ilalim-->matic sasakyan mo diba??

    kung papalitan mo ng raditator, and you want an upgrade: get evercool brand and atleat 2-3 rows yung radiator..

    at sa susunod, manila pure distilled water gamitin mo--mahal wilkins/absolute,e...

    IMO, palitan na lang ng replacement brands like evercool. Use distilled water para iwas rust.

    Yung sa akin, top overhaul is only P450, pag top-bottom, P900 lang.

    Medyo nagmahal na kasi ang evercool. For Civic na matic, 5.6k pero 2 rows na ata yun.

    Kung wala pa namang leak, pwede pa-overhaul mo na lang. Tapos have it flushed para siguradong tanggal ang kalawang. Use US-made radiator flush products, kasi its very effective.

    And don't use ordinary tap water. Use coolant and distilled, para hindi madaling mag-rust ulit yung radiator

    Advtange ng surplus: mura at ang makukuha mo eh yung OEM talaga. Disadvantage (based on experience): di sing tibay ng bago kase hinde mo naman mainspek yung loob kung may corrossion na o may butas ng nabubuo.

    bukas po kasi sir, maghahanap ako ng surplus, sa banawe, dahil di ko mahanap kung ano talaga problem ng radiator ko.... laging nauubos ang tubig, pero hindi naman nagover heat, pag malamig ang panahon mas mababa ang meter reading ko. mas ok na palitan kesa magkaproblema pa in future... how much po kaya yun? any idea sir?

    Rather than surplus, I'd recommend having your original radiator fixed. Tsambahan talaga ang surplus, specially with Hondas, kasi plastic top ang rad. Except kung irreparable na.

    Original Honda radiators (Nippondenso/Denso) for Civics cost over 11k. Replacement (Evercool), mga 5.6k, pero 2 rows na, tapos bronze top pa. Surplus mga 1k lang, depende sa condition/model.

    i would not advise you going the surplus route. pag surplus, medyo baka may problem na din ang makukuha mo and it will not solve your problem.

    what i would suggest is to try having it overhauled first, mura lang naman. if the same problem is experienced, then replace it with replacement radiators like evercool.
