There is no such requirement in my 2010 Camaro shop manual. You could try them, but I think a 10 year old car with a new engine should just get a new radiator. |

You can try replacing the side gaskets. If you do that, I'd replace both of them, on either side, and get the proper crimp tool for the aluminum housing tabs. I did that once on an old 3rd gen Camaro and it worked fine with no leaks.
However, in this case I think it would be better to get a brand new radiator and be done with it. When you do get the new radiator, I'd get one with increased cooling capacity with all aluminum construction if you can. That way, it can handle any mods you may plan on doing in the future. These plastic tank OEM radiators are a bean counters dream. Ugh! |

I am not looking to upgrade above OEM level for cooling right now, so OEM is fine with me.
