I'm curious if it comes with a drain plug. I really dislike the "disconnect the bottom hose and take a green shower" method.

Isn't that a drain plug you can see in the pic?

The Wizard Cooling radiator does have an NPT drain bung, if you were considering on of theirs.

If your motivation is to avoid the golden showers it's a very cheap and simple job to retrofit a drain tap to a standard rad winking smiley

Only cost me $12 to have a drain added to my radiator



Oil leak?? What oil leak? That puddle under the car is just sweat from all that horsepower!!

I purchased the radiator in the above link only to have the seller cancel it because he was out of stock. Then he relisted it with $100 shipping.
The next day I bought another one from a different seller only to have the seller cancel it because it was out of stock. Then he relisted it with $100 shipping.
Not being one to learn a lesson quickly, today I bought a third one from a third seller and I just got an email that he too was out of stock.

It's ok, I really didn't need one anyway. smiling smiley
