The great radiator debate
Very good series of articles written by a manufacturer of both brass/copper and aluminum radiators. It certainly dispels some of the myths we see on this and other forums. Most interesting to me is how a two-row aluminum radiator has the same cooling capacity as a 4-row brass/copper model, while weighing less and having fewer corrosion issues.

Re: The great radiator debate
I never knew there was a debate. Aluminum is better until you need it repaired on a road trip.
