The best way to backflush a radiator yourself is to remove it from the car and use your garden hose to wash it out. Turn the radiator up-side-down and insert the hose into the bottom outlet, wrap a rag around it to seal that end, then turn the hose on full blast. Shake the radiator around to help get any crud to come out the cap opening. You can also remove the thermostat cover and do the same process to the engine block and the heater core. Prestone sells a backflush kit that helps you do a backflush without removing the radiator but I find that it is hard to get the big chunks to come-out the top when using their kit. DD |

Erik, Maybe I missed it, but did you post the buildup specs of your motor? No hurry, but I'd like to see specifically what you used. Thanks, Lou |
