..for the radiator?

i'm thinking about going to a scrapyard to pull a decent radiator.

my engine overheats when driving on long uphill roads.

I believe 90 Camry is the same as ES250. Did you check the color of motor oil whether it looks like water from radiator got in? That happened to our 95 LS400 & we had to replace the whole engine ($6K).

last oil change it looked ok. little dark from the carbon but no coolant in it.

i think you blew a gasket.

Cool

Replace the thermostat & pressure caps.
Check the radiator for blockage.
Check that the radiator fan is working.
