In my book... Posted by Larry West [Email] (#1140) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Larry West) on Mon, 7 Jun 2010 12:14:00 In Reply to: which is better radiator, alvaro isla, Mon, 7 Jun 2010 08:30:03 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The late aluminum/plastic radiator is the superior one. By a longshot. It is much lighter than the brass one (it weights maybe 1/4 what the brass one weighs), it resists corrosion and clogging much better than the brass radiator, and it transfers heat much better than the brass one (it doesn't need to be painted to prevent corrosion, and the paint reduces the efficiency of the radiator). I've never had a 900 overheat with the aluminum radiator due to a radiator issue.
