and i stand by my earlier suggestion that the key to keeping cool is moving
lots of air through the radiator. copper or aluminum.

Probably not, although I didn't submit it for quantitative

But I'll bet you don't have a pure aluminum radiator, either. 
Aluminum is
pretty much always alloyed with things like silicon and iron.

So does copper.  You forgot
to mention having to keep the antifreeze and
sacrificial anode changed on
schedule, not parking it in a barn and
forgetting about it.
