Would you use this radiator?

The 3 row all metal radiator in my 87-740 is giving up the ghost(leaking at the seams) after 11 years of service, and I want to replace it with a stock volvo radiator thats been sitting on the bench for about a yr.

The stock rad came from my 90 240 and was working ok when I removed it.

The only issue is when I pick the empty radiator up and turn it over, I hear something rattling inside the tank. It sounds like maybe a few really small pebbles.

The flow is good and the rad doesnt leak.

Should I use it? Or should I can it and get another?

Thanks

Larue
