Upgrading to a thicker radiator is a good move, check out brands like Setrab or CSF for reliable options. Since you’re already cleaning debris and adding mesh, you’re on the right track.
If you're keen on extra reliability mods, maybe consider upgrading the coolant hoses and checking the radiator cap.
Keeping things cool and tight is key to avoiding future headaches.
Thanks for the reply. I've struggled to get consistent/reliable information on the thickness of the OEM vs aftermarket radiators. Do you have any firsthand experience with either of those brands?
