I have a few questions about radiators what do they mean by 1 inch cooling tubes 1.25 inch cooling tubes etc

2 row radiators

2 core radiator

There is one i am looking at for my car that is a dual core radiator i know nothing about them at all.

 

Dual core:


Single core:


The size fo the cooling tubes determines how thick the cores are, so a 1.25" single core radiator would be approximately 1.25" thick. Dual 1" core rads seem to be the most efficient according to BeCool, but I'm not sure if they are a drop-in fit.

And what do they mean by 2 row 3 row or 4 row?

That pic was worth a 1000 words.

 

Rows are the same as cores.

 

So when you get a 4 row the rows are not as big as a 2 row i take it.

 

are as big on most all radiators, all that i have ever seen anyways


maybe its different on these cars though , i dunno
