So I've got some copper blocks in my loop, and a 1987 ford econoline van heatercore for a radiator. that core has some greenish copper "petina" on the inside that I can't seem to get rid of... it also doesn't seem to come out in the coolant particularly... maybe a little clouding. Will it just "stay" there or will it spread to the coolant if I'm running distilled water and just a little dye?

Thanks you geniuses!
