I am a dumbass, I cleaned my radiator and blocks with vinegar and then pulled em out and kinda left em there to dry... as youd expect thin layer of vinegar = bad for copper in the radiator mostly. I managed to clean out the blocks using brush IPA and distilled water and some more vinegar.. But I dont know what to do about the Radiator.

btw that was at midnight and I only had 3 hrs of night before so I wasnt thinking right goes to say dont work on PC when sleepy!!! damnit

HELP!! I am paniccing!! Do i need to buy a new radiator now?

this sux!

Boil some distilled water and pour into rad, shake, empty out, and repeat a bunch of times.

As I've just learned, vinegar isn't such a good idea for cleaning copper parts. Boil some distilled and pour some in the rad and shake it around.

edit: beat me to it :)

Even though your using a MCR, this still applies.
