Another plastic radiator failure 200 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be Mel on  Tue Oct 15 01:11 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Friend of mine had one of those catastrophic failures with the plastic
radiator on his 1991 / 240. Car obviously overheated, and blew the head
gasket. It also warped the head, and destroyed the water pump, and hoses.
The temperature gauge never went above middle ?!
It cost a bundle to fix this car. Apparently they even fixed the warped head
by "heat treating" it. I thought warped heads were not repairable.
Can someone clarify this for me.
Thanks in advance.
