I discussed this comment with my German/American friend who was installing a aluminum radiator in his Lagonda Drop Head Coup. He has owned various European Vehicles with aluminum radiators, and classic cars with aluminum radiators. He cannot understand the need for distilled water if you are using antifreeze which includes anti-corrosion additives or using such additive separately. Furthermore, the biggest problem with alloy radiators is the matter of a good grounded engine. His experience the failure of the alloy radiator is a poorly grounded engine which causes the electric current to run to ground via the water in coolant system hence destroy the aluminum being dissimilar metal. So check the soundness of the ground.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Bob Begani<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">BJ8 67<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> Healeys <<a href="mailto:healeys-bounces@autox.team.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">healeys-bounces@autox.team.net</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Michael Salter<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, April 3, 2019 5:51 PM<br><b>To:</b> David Nock BCS <<a href="mailto:healeydoc@sbcglobal.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">healeydoc@sbcglobal.net</a>><br><b>Cc:</b> Ahealey help <<a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">healeys@autox.team.net</a>>; i erbs <<a href="mailto:eyera3000@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">eyera3000@gmail.com</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Healeys] Radiator flush<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">" If you are installing a alloy radiator be sure and use Distilled water"<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">Those are definitely the words of someone who "has suffered the consequences" ...<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">M<u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal">On Wed, Apr 3, 2019 at 5:47 PM David Nock BCS <<a href="mailto:healeydoc@sbcglobal.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">healeydoc@sbcglobal.net</a>> wrote:<u></u><u></u></p></div><blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt"><div><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century",serif;color:black">If you are installing a alloy radiator be sure and use Distilled water. <u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century",serif;color:black"> <u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century",serif;color:black">The water flows thru the radiator top to bottom.
