I Have a question, Would the crack in my Radiator cause my engine, to idle at higher rpm? I mean the crack was pretty long , about 8 - 9 inches across the top, it had drained my res. I took my radiator out today, there was a bit of coolant left.

That is a price that is available, or that is what you paid for one.

Well, the plastic tank on the top of my radiator split open a couple of days ago, so I've been shopping for a new one.
Wikedjuggalo, did you buy the "Replacement" brand one? I'm curious to hear more about it. The online places say it is "plastic core" but when I called, one place said it's all metal.

Here are the different radiators I've found for the SVX so far:
OEM Subaru "Radiator Assembly" P/N 45199PA001 MSRP: $425, SubaruParts.com: $378, SubaruGenuineParts.com: $363 Silla, P/N 7420, $165 (several places online) Plastic tank (like OEM), lifetime limited warranty Replacement (brand), P/N P2083, $200 (several places online) All metal? (one place said so, but others show "plastic core") 1 year warranty Spectra Premium Radiator, P/N CU2083, AdvanceAutoParts.com $335 (also PartsAmerica.com, who is also affiliated with Advance, Checker, Schuck's, and Kragen auto parts stores) P/N is suspiciously same as "Replacement" brand 2 Year Limited Warranty PWR, P/N PWR5229, PWR-Performance.com $599 (group buy on here awhile back was $450) I'm seeing $540 on a current eBay listing All-aluminum A large and reputable radiator shop here (in business since 1949) says they have had poor results trying to replace the plastic tank with a new one — the mounting tabs don't hold up. They said they also won't solder on a replacement metal tank — when they've tried in the past, it caused problems with the welds on the core tubes/fins. Ordinarily they will do radiator repair and refurbishments, so I doubt the reason is that they just don't want to bother.

O.k replaced the radiator, hooked everything up, and well, I believe my coolant tank is well I believe leaking a bit . I took the car around the block when I got it all installed and it is starting to over heat. I am going to fill tank up I guess and let the car run a bit. See where it stands then.

I bought a silla off ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...138175197&rd=1 It installed extremely easy, took no time at all. It's still running and keeping my engine cool over a month later. As much as the svx costs in annual maintenance, i think the silla is more than reasonable

O.k, I added alot more coolant, which probley is the cause of it over heating. Silla radiator is hold up fine. I drove it around my neighborhood reaching speeds of 60 mph (Empty streets mind you ) Drove it around and it the temp gauge is happily sitting right below the ~ on the the symbol that is on it aka right in the middle. I will keep coolant in my car and keep a very close eye on it. I Just hope I needed more coolant thats it .

When you initially filled it up, there were probably air bubbles everywhere, and driving it around worked them out, allowing probably antoher 1/2gal+ of coolant to be added. Worried me at first as well.
