engine coolant flush

[ssms5411]

I never have flushed the engine and coolant before, so I was wondering what was the best way to flush the radiator and engine?

Re: engine coolant flush

The easiest way, definitely not the most environmental friendly but whatever... pull the drain plug, let all the coolant out, leave the drain plug out, take a garden hose and put it in rad, keep the garden hose on. Turn your car on and let it idle until it's hot enough that the running water is circulating, have a beer... I let mine run for 20 mins with the hose water running through. Fill up the rad after and you're set

I used Radiator Flush in the process. It really improved my heater in the end.

Thanks for the replies, as soon as I get the engine back together I'll see about flushing it out. I don't have my heater core hooked up the lines are just put together in the front since thats the way I hook up water to my turbo.
