Tommy,
I would think that I've flexed and twisted about as much as anyone, 
except for maybe extremists like Bill T., and I've never had a radiator 
pulled apart in almost 40 years. Let me point out that Steve S. says that 
our California Scouts aren't fair examples since they don't have enough 
rust on them. 

I had my radiator resoldered with silver solder and converted to a 3 row 
when I had numerous leaks and stuff push me to that point. None of those 
leaks, however came from flexing. My Scout sat for 6 years with fluid in 
the radiator and suffered badly from corrosion.

Tark and/or Dan certainly could be right about the cause of your radiator 
problem, but also the problem could be much more mundane than your 
extremeness. Sorry for casting aspersions on your extremeness.

Regards,

John
