    Default aftermarket radiators

    i'm getting a bigger cored radiator, and i'm wondering what your thoughts are.

    ive got the alloy option, or the brass option. which cools better / lasts longer?

    it's only about $40 difference in price, which i'd rather pay for a radiator that will last longer.
    This is good site to watch.I found it informative as I have been researching a lot lately on such matters such as you talk about.

    brass and copper cores, just need to look at the old tractors and alike that still have their radiators after 50 to 60 years

    Brass and copper core disperse heat faster, last longer and aluminum looks better and are cheaper to make.
