About 2 years ago I replaced my radiator due to a small crack that had formed at the upper hose connection. At that time I noticed that the bolthole near the centerline of the upper core support didn't line up and the lower foot was about 1/4" (give or take) to the right of where the old radiator sat. Since then, I have already replaced the "new" radiator with another as it appears the stress caused a crack to form on the tank and have recently started having the same thing happen again.
Before I get asked, yes, I reused the old isolators because they were soft enough to compress enough to allow me to get the bolt in the hole, the new isolators were just too hard.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue? Obviously, I'm going to have to replace the radiator and I don't want to go through this every year. And no, I can't afford to or justify upgrading to a full aluminum radiator at $500 to $600.
