Alloy Radiator
Hi all,
I'm doing the cambelt (the full works) on my Blob on Saturday and I'm replacing the radiator at the same time as the top plastic end tank is weaping.
I'm replacing it with a full Alloy Radiator, do I need to earth the new radiator? I've had a google and there are a lot of conflicting reports!
Cheers,

Electrolysis can only occur if the radiator IS grounded, otherwise the radiator will remain at the same electrical potential as the engine block, assuming the coolant is acting as an electrical conductor.
This could only happen if you have an electrical component in the cooling system in a fault condition ( allowing voltage to leak to earth), which should blow the fuse anyway.
I wouldn't worry.
