Frank, dependant upon age and material, the inhibitor could remove the internal surfaces and thus cause a leak or two...., the main areas are the rad, but you will be ok with the new one, but I would recommend the flush before fitting the new one...., the heater matrix joints, there brazed, the heater matrix flow and return pipes, there brazed and gasketed...

Inhibitor will find weak spots......., metal or not.....

I thought my old rad was ok 'till I swapped it.  Hopefully yours will be the same, they just don't seem to like hard water.  I also use "water wetter" to lower the tempt of my coolant, but then mine works quite hard at times ;)
