Could we all just focus and think for 1 minuteâ.

We all invest a considerable amount of money in our projects and typically the engine costs a fair chunk and is also fairly labor intensive to remove/repair. Whatâs worst than going down the road on a sunny day with your girl (or guy if youâre a girl!) and then, Shazam: your baby boils over because you âflushedâ the rad instead of fixinâ it right the 1^st time around.

If it means taking the car out 2-3 weeks late because of budgetary reasons, so be it. Youâll save in the long run + you will now have a new rad to build a maintenance log sheet from, not worrying about weather or not itâs dirty, how old is it, will it leak, bla-bla-bla..

The last thing we all need is for some mainstream (read: GM, Ford or Chrysler) âDude driving by your pristine AMCâs laughing his head off.

Let them boil over!!!

Well dude,not many of us have the money for a new one i mean i'm buying a alum racing one for my gremlin as its a drag car but you don't haaave to buy a new rad. if the old ones dirty and most here suggested the guy not to have it flushed so relax.and i'm pretty sure some big three 'dude' would be in the same boat as we AMCers when it comes to a 'flushed' rad.
