And you get nothing for nothing so something has to go and being the softess the core is going to first. Therefore to halt the electrolitic action all it needs is an earth strap for the core. The same as with an aluminium hull of a boat or an outboard where you fit an anode. The anode in the car is the soft alluminum core. I have asked taxis and found out that they earth the raditor cores. So this weekend I will be grounding my radiator cores.
where and how will you be grounding the core?
