You started out with an alloy rad- the stocker is aluminum and plastic- so why would your new Koyo (or whatever) be any more prone to "stray current" than it was?

Besides, the engine itself is just about the worst case scenario- stacked iron and alloy plates- if this phenomenon is really an issue.

If the metal touched the chasis.

So, try rubber spacers?
