Triple pass means the rad is divided into 3 sections.....top, middle, bottom. Coolant flow zigzags across the rad....right to left, left to right, right to left. What u have is a 3 row copper/brass single pass (right to left) rad. OE stock rad is a 1 (very wide) row single pass (right to left) rad. That pic looks like a new pump compared to this one.

That is the result of cavitation. Cavitation is what happens when coolant system is neglected, especially with OAT & HOAT type antifreeze. Those new long-life coolants are a PITA if you; 1. have a leak that allows air to get into system 2. mix conventional antifreeze with them 3. exceed change intervals.

Do not get too complacent with G-05 it is still hoat (hybrid organic acid technology) take the H away and it is a dexcool clone! The only difference is G05 contains some silicates. Both are organic.
