s14 ally rads are good because they are not quite as wide and you can feed i/c pipes straight past it, i use a 52mm s14 ally rad, the pipes are on opposite sides but its an easy fix with some silicone bends.

I have bought a new key and it only fits and turns in 1 radiator and not the others. My radiator clearly needs bleeding as the bottom half is hot only.
I am not sure how to fix this. Any suggestions?
