Btw, while we're on the subject, I think everyone should install one of those corrosion attracting plugs in their radiator. Saves your aluminum heads from pitting. Also, make sure there is a solid ground from your aluminum heads to your chassis. Helps prevent electrolysis
Ok that is ONE of the problems that Alum Rads have...that is the fix..very good.

Number two problem is a BIG one....If your thermostat sticks closed...it will cause all your tubes in the Alum rad to collapse. Yep..seen this a hundred times. Fix is to get a fail safe thermostat that only sticks open.
