No wonder China has it in for Taiwan, their products have a much better reputation.
My quick search of the interweb revealed the only "Crown" radiators are those supplied by Crown Automotive, that well known purveyor of all things Jeep. One thing I spotted trying to make sense of the baffling choice (just for Cherokees) was that one for 4.0's changed in '97 which didn't ring true as all mine - '96, 8 & 9 - are the same - then I spotted RHD ones changed in '93; dunno, you tell me - but then I've never understood the RHD radiator; actually, I've never understood why the trans. heat exchanger's on the wrong side on LHD ones (which seems to be the only difference).
Bakelite! Are you sure? I mean it was a '50's product which I thought was superceded by plastics & wasn't aware of any modern application. Mind you, it could be due a renaissance, being organic, presumably bio-degradable, & better for the environment.
