Treatment for Aluminum Radiator

[ken5124]

Just purchased an all aluminum RPC Radiator... Speed shop suggested I treat the Rad with Moroso ceramic engine treatment because it was " not treated"
IS that a must or just a recommendation..?
Anyone with experience..??

We use that stuff and "Bars-Leak" to seal small cracks in heads and blocks in race cars. Just take a walk around the Pro Stock pit area at a national event. If CET is designed to seal leaks (cracks) in blocks and heads, imagine the effect it will have on the passages of your new aluminum radiator.

If it's a street car, just use a quality brand antifreeze. If it's a race car, find a cooling system conditioner like "Water wetter" to put a boundary layer of protectants and lubricants in the cooling system. Nothing exotic needed.

Does sound strange since ceramic is used as an insulator?

That's what i thought... I want the radiator to get the heat out of the fluid, not hold it in..
