Are aluminium radiators and engine parts different from other aluminium?
Short answer: Yes, because radiators usually combine aluminium with copper, brass or plastic and are priced as a separate item, and engine parts are heavy cast aluminium that often has steel liners, bolts and residual oil attached, so they are normally graded separately from clean extruded or sheet aluminium and may be priced lower unless cleaned and stripped.

List Free →Radiators
A radiator contains different metals and sometimes plastic tanks, so buyers treat it as its own category with its own rate.
Engine parts
Cast engine components often carry steel inserts and oil, which is why they are graded apart and may be priced lower unless cleaned.
Drain and clean first
Fluids should be drained and disposed of properly before parts are sold, since buyers will not take parts that are still leaking.
