I want to replace the valve cover gasket, where do you guys recommend I should get it? I've seen it on Rockauto.com ranging from 10-27 bucks and should I also get a valve cover kit?

Alright the plan is to go this Saturday to help my friend change the radiator since they asked him to do it, so I might as well go with him and I can get a better look at the motor and such. What should I check for when changing the radiator other than the coolant for oil?

There are a lot of general mechanic type places in Houston lol, if there is a problem with something then they suggest to replace everything. It's no longer an issue now it's been ordered and hopefully soon I'll be posting pics of the beauty.

I was just seeing how much these radiators go for and it seems like they cost around $100 for an OEM replacement and for all aluminum they go from $150 to $300+ and I don't need anything that excessive I just need an OEM like replacement. Thanks for the help and advice everyone.

I rather go with a new one bud lol I don't want another crack to happen with a radiator that has been sitting for 10 years getting dry and brittle. Thanks though.

I'll play it safe and find one for a manual turbo lol It seems you guys are right the radiator for an auto can be used on a manual just plug up the hole for the transmission oil port but can't use a manual radiator on an auto because of that.

Thanks for the info I really appreciate it

I am not saying $80 is pricey I am just trying to get a feel of the price for this part and it seems that $80-90 is a good deal. I am curious as well from what I have heard Mishimotos are pretty good.

ah I figured it wouldn't really matter but a friend of mine told me the ones for autos mean they modified or need modifications to fit or something like that. I just need one that fits in without any issues.

Thank you very much, I don't think any junkyards around me have MK3s but my friend says there are quite a few in the junkyards near him but they are far away from me. I'll check those places out. I looked up the one on partstrain and it says automatic, turbo, will I have any issues installing...

Hello everyone, where can I get a replacement radiator for a 91 MK3 turbo 5spd? I found one online for about $90 I was hoping you guys would know where to get one for less. I don't need anything crazy just the same as stock or better if it doesn't cost more than the one I am looking at, also by...

Yea I remember my 7MGE motor in my old 88 NA was quiet but not as quiet as this one. Plan is to replace the radiator and the guy is willing to keep the price the same, so that is good he was willing to knock off a couple hundred bucks to have us fix it but my brother won't let that happen also...

Little update Well I went to check out the car today and it was very very quiet and sounded very smooth it was quieter than any car I have heard even new cars. Interior was better than I thought, everything worked but when I drove it out of the owner's driveway to take it to the dealership and...

Lol trust me I know that all too well I go into it being told I just need this and that but knowing I will need a backup car to run to the parts store for other parts.
