Thanks for the suggestion on filling the rad w/ water before soldering, BB2K. It makes sense and helps ease the concerns I had about melting the tank / core joint by accident.
Just a word of caution: When soldering water filled objects, water has a tendency to flash-boil, and a strong stream of (very) hot water could come rushing out, SO make sure those spouts are pointing away from you.
