It helps aluminum radiators if you install a sacrificial anode, make
sure you have a very good ground strap between the engine and frame that
has clean tight connections and use the correct antifreeze.
Now that I have been reminded, I have a used brass TR3 radiator sitting
in the garage for the past 3 years that was re-cored with a thicker core
that is not partially blocked by a starter hole. It has spent 5 or 6
years on the car before it was removed and put in the garage. As I
remember it was in good dirty condition. Anyway it is looking for a new
home. If anyone is interested please contact me. It is located in
Flagstaff just off of I-40.
Any proceeds to go to my side curtain rebuilding fund.
