Why the heck are you using an Aluminium rad? At least here in the US copper rads go for almost nothing.

On a tangent, my professor brought up corrosion today as part of a lecture.

Here is in pdf form:

http://engr.arizona.edu/~mse110/anno...Slides/L26.pdf

Slide four discusses copper corrosion due to water and oxygen. As he put it, corrosion puts you against thermodynamics. Whats the short version of the first and second laws of thermo?

Something like:

"You can't win."
"You can't break even either."

So yeah don't mix metals.
