The $120 one is not "oem". Go to Honda and see how much a REAL oem radiator costs.

my oem rad wasn't leaking but there has been many reports of leaks starting unexpectedly due to the plastic tanks. I changed mine at 55k miles so it doesn't happen to me one day while running down the highway. $240 is nothing to pay for that kind of peace of mind. I'm glad I did it, and combined it with Samco silicone hoses, should last the life of the motor now.
