They don't need them because it's built like a little radiator. The tubes are thin and flat seems like creating a lot more surface area. The Brass Works was $360 and 3 month wait, but worth it. Sorry for the fuzzy picture, Brass Works had 3 more rows.

I learned something new today, looks like a few folks have found pieces that made their way out of the core and into the system. Zoinks! https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/plastic-like-zip-ties-found-inside-2006-tj-unlimited-4-0-coolant-system.5771/page-2 I can see possibly one that almost...
