240z Heater Core Replacement

Hi all,

 

After replacing every coolant line and the heater control valve I'm looking at replacing my heater core due to a pinhole leak. Does anyone have recommendations on a replacement heater core? I was looking at this unit from ZCarSource of AZ:

So far as I can tell, rebuilding my OEM heater core would cost a about 50-100$+ more locally so I've been looking at replacement options.

 

Thanks!

My experience is that the "new" heater cores from regular parts stores are mostly junk.  I suspect that maybe they were rebuild 20 years ago and then rotted in a warehouse.  I went through 4 "new" units from 2 different auto parts stores that were all badly corroded before ultimately getting mine rebuilt at a local radiator shop.  I cant speak for Z car source but if they get their parts from the regular parts chain I would skip it.  My local radiator shop did an excellent job and I don't regret it.
