[Healeys] Heater query

[Kees Oudesluijs]

Have it re-cored with a modern, more efficient core (more rows/tubes). 
Cleaning out a radiator is a waste of money most of the time. Aluminium 
is lighter and cheaper to manufacture but not as durable and usually 
cannot be repaired. Thermal conductivity is also not as good as 
copper/brass. Most of all it does not look right.
