Using this Koyo radiator is a breeze. Just plug it in as it's a true plug - and - play design, no need to modify your engine. When installing, make sure to retain the mounts for the stock fan shrouds and fans. If you have an automatic transmission, remember to invest in an auxiliary transmission cooler as this radiator doesn't have an internal one. For maintenance, regularly check the aluminum connections where the heliarc welds are. Keep an eye on the air circulation through the radiator to ensure it's working efficiently. If you notice any signs of overheating or reduced performance, it might be time to inspect the radiator thoroughly.
