Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Radiator Flushing Tips

[AMC74HORNET@xxxxxxxxx]

There are also flushing kits with a chemical cleaner and a valve you put
in the heater hose line to back flush the system. The trouble with
boiling out a radiator or using one of these kits is that sometimes the
crud clogging it up is what is keeping it from leaking. Radiators are
expensive and heater cores share the same problems as radiators but are
around 50$ new and easy to replace. 
I put a new heater core in the orange car and luckily I had a good
Concord radiator and had it boiled out and used that one.

I have to agree with everything Bart has listed. However, it the overheating continues, you may want to consider removing the radiator and having it boiled out in a radiator shop.

Over the years, sediment can form in the tubes and will clog them up.

 

Make sure you keep the old anti-freeze solution away from pets too. For some reason, dogs seem to like the older style antifreeze and it can be deadly for them. 

 

Gee........sometimes I wish I was seventeen again.
