I just installed a Fluidyne Radiator into my 1992 honda civic vx, with a b18c swap done already. the intallation was painless for me.but my poor honda hood had to get the hammer. After installing it, I tried closing my hood and it was about 1/2" of being shut. So I wet the top of the new radiator down and close me hood gently this time and noticed a wet spot on the hood after re-opening it. So out comes my ultimate fix all problems tool, "THE HAMMER" after about 20 good wacks on a hood reenforcement brace it closed. All I have to say is Stock Honda hoods are stronger on the inside then they are on the outside..

Del Sol dual Core? Yes but only the underside. the outside looks the same.

del sol vtec model radiators are super cheap and super performing...you wasted a lot o money on the fluidyne and bashed up parts
the "I'll make it fit" idea is not usually very smart
