Has anyone found an all aluminum replacement for the ge8 yet? my 2013 has sprung a leak at 60k and I hate plastic end tanks but am not finding anything with aluminum tanks on the majors parts websites.

Depending on how adventurous you might be..... This is a possibility....... A DYIer out on "the tube" I happened to come across......
making a repair to his Al radiator

 

I have a ebay one on my fit,, way nicer and cools way better in hot weather.. Looks about like the one pictured..

 

I'll have to think about it since I'm usually skeptical of no name eBay stuff. If it handles the PDX summers well I feel a little less concerned about it since I'm geographically only a short afternoon trip away

 

CR-Z radiator works for GE8 with some modification(s) if I am not mistaken.

I think this is good intuition.

I had a factory radiator fail, bleed coolant into auto transmission on a non-Honda car. It cost a fortune to rebuild transmission, replace radiator and clean up coolant system.

If that radiator fails, what is the probability eBay or mystery seller will take any responsibility for repairing your car. Buy high-quality and from a reputable source.

eBay and Amazon may be ok for inexpensive trinkets but are always high risk.
