Over operational cycles, the thermal expansion differentials between the composite plastic and aluminum core weaken the perimeter rubber crimp gasket. Sustained thermal cycling and engine bay heat soak induce structural embrittlement, often resulting in hair-line fractures along the upper tank neck, abrupt seam separation, and catastrophic loss of system operating pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to resolve stock heat retention issues, this drop-in replacement features a heavy-duty 3-row aluminum tube-and-fin core that substantially increases internal coolant volume and frontal surface heat rejection area. Hand-crafted aluminum end tanks are fully TIG-welded to the core headers, eliminating volatile mechanical crimp seams and composite degradation entirely. The precision furnace-brazed multi-louvered fin geometry promotes laminar airflow penetration while maintaining high heat transfer efficiency, safeguarding the \u003cstrong\u003eK24\u003c\/strong\u003e powerplant from thermal degradation during steep elevation climbs and heavy stop-and-go commuting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x All-aluminum 3-row performance radiator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProtective transport caps on inlet\/outlet ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2012-2016 Honda CR-V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eK24Z7 \/ K24W9\u003c\/strong\u003e \/ \u003cstrong\u003eRM1 \/ RM3 \/ RM4\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e185 hp \/ 163-181 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCU13314\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e13314\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2012-2016 Honda CR-V 2.4L (All Trims)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the RM-Chassis CR-V?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2012-2016 Honda CR-V equipped with the 2.4L \u003cstrong\u003eK24\u003c\/strong\u003e four-cylinder engine; it is not a universal unit and will not fit other chassis generations or displacement platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need to bleed the cooling system after installing this radiator?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, a complete system bleed using factory-approved non-silicate coolant is required to eliminate air pockets and guarantee proper flow across the multi-row core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Honda Endurance Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to withstand continuous duty cycles and thermal stresses, this TIG-welded all-aluminum heat exchanger provides the reliable cooling margin required to maintain peak engine efficiency across demanding driving environments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67551759499512,"sku":"DS-EF985V09Y","price":128.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/aluminum-radiator-for-honda-cr-v-2012-2016-2-4l-1.jpg?v=1790802502","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/de\/products\/aluminum-radiator-for-honda-cr-v-2012-2016-2-4l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
