Well, if can reach the tubes that have separated, you can clean and use JB Weld to seal the cracks. I just did that on the two inner upper corners on mine. Don't try heat/solder or the tubes side joints will expand and split down the sides creating a worse problem. Re-cores will run $600 plus or good used ones $350 plus. Radiator shops are like car dealers. They will quote high so you have to squabble to get the price down a couple hundred bucks. Some good fussing can get you a better deal, but remember to give a nice tip if you’re satisfied with the work!
