Have you talked to IPD about taking the radiator back? For what (I can only imagine) they charged you for it, the build quality should be a bit better.

I know what you mean by the lower hose neck - Even on a correct radiator, the lower hose sits very close to the frame rail, making it a bit difficult to fit the clamp.

But what I find odd is the screw-in temp sensor. I have a 90 740 and it's a push-in type of sensor with a new rubber grommet generally supplies with the new radiator.

Stuffing a cloth in the T-stadt hole should be OK, but a tiny bit of PB Blaster inside the water jacket should really hurt either.

Yes, there should be a gasket on the T-stadt housing.
