My problems PALE in comparison to yours. I am sure you'd LOVE to be chasing an overheating problem in your newly completed car. I am feeling for ya.

Well that's exactly what I thought, though I have had two radiator companies (one of which was PRC who supplied my Hurricane radiator) tell me that with aluminum that is absolutely not the case. I failed to ask Fluidyne that, but you can bet I will tomorrow.
