Hello, my sister damaged her radiator (2007 Camry 3.5L) and drove it home overheating. I don’t want to buy a brand new radiator because there might be damage to the engine. There are tons of 2.4L Camrys in the junkyard but not 3.5L. In some cases the radiator part numbers are the same and sometimes close depending on the brand. Will a 2.4L radiator work in a 3.5L or should I drive a couple hours to grab a 3.5L radiator? (Also there’s no Avalons there either)

 

Radiators are listed as US built, Japan built, tow package. Will one fit another, don't know.

Years used 2007-11.

Fits V-6 only.

How bad is the old radiator? Can you stick a garden hose in the filler to make up for lost water long enough to check out the engine? Take out the T-stat first.

Did the engine run until turned off? Was it running OK? If the temp got into the red risk a blown head gasket.
