Reply to "Anyone experience persistent leaks with the Hall copper radiator?"

Dear Guys,

I have all iron engines in both Panteras that are cooled by old school brass radiators. I just re-cored one after about twenty years, the other one is doing fine at around 18-20 years of use.

I notice that Mike has aluminum heads, an iron block and a brass radiator. I seem to recall that the metallurgy of the components connected to the cooling system can have a deleterious effect on vulnerable metals.

Could it be that the shortened life of brass radiators might be related to having aluminum heads in the corrosion equation?

Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
