I'd get a new radiator and forget about it. I have a Spectra radiator in my 3rd gen and from what I know its pretty cheap. It is holding up well 4 years later.

1989 Accord LX: Sold with 208k-now somewhere around 230k with new owner
Current:
2014 Elantra Sport 6MT
2000 Montero Sport 4x4 (beater, trail rig)
I'd avoid the junkyard. I got mine new from Napa and it works fine. Radiator longevity probably has a lot more to do with proper cooling system maintenance than with the brand of the radiator.

I like Koyo. The core is all aluminum. You can find one on eBay for about $100.
koyo ftmfw i think i got mine form 1800 radiator but i dont know if there nation wide
I put a Koyo in the ex-wife's 99 Oasis. It's a 98 Odyssey with Isuzu badges for those that are not already aware. It was actually thinner and lighter than the OEM unit, surprisingly. Perfect fit and appeared to be decent build quality.
I bought it from these guys on eBay. It handled the 100+ degree days here, no problem. Also, the one for our Accords is cheaper than the Odyssey version.
