To clean the pistons I just grabbed a spray can of solvent off the shelf, I think it was carb cleaner, sprayed some on a rag and gave em a good wiping.
I don't remember what year camry I got the rad from. I just looked for one with pipes in the right spots.
Here's the code from the top of the rad. Maybe someone can figure out what it's from.
