Three cores will cool most motors, although in special towing cases or applications where the motor is put under considerable load for periods of time, a four core unit may be a better choice.

*In most cases, use a radiator of copper and brass construction ''(confirm and expand)''. If using an aluminum radiator, install a sacrificial anode in the coolant water. | *In most cases, use a radiator of copper and brass construction ''(confirm and expand)''.

*Oftentimes, the cheapest and most bulletproof way is to use the largest radiator that will fit, along with the shroud that was designed for the radiator from the factory and the designated steel fan and viscous drive assembly for same.
