> 1. Should I run that crap removing cleaning stuff in the cooling system to get the garbage out. Crap is a good word for it. Some kinds of it are meant for the block only and not meant to be circulated through the radiator. I think it wouldn't hurt to run this stuff if you are replacing the radiator anyway. I have seen DeLoreans with lots of sediment settling over the passenger side engine drain plug. In this situation I remove the drain plug only to find that the hole is as dry as a popcorn fart. Jab a screwdriver through there and you take a bath in coolant. I find it strange that sediment like this would be in the block yet the aluminum coolant pipes are like-new clean. There is a second coolant drain plug on the other side of the block close to the oil pressure switch. These have the same 8mm square fitting as the oil plug. Oh, to answer your question... Yes, I think you should. > 2. If so, should I do it with the old hoses, flush it and drain it and then put the new hoses on. Yeah, there is no sense flushing your new hoses because those are clean. And technically there is no sense in flushing your old hoses either since you will be replacing them. But (at least in my opinion) it is essential to remove every trace of that cleaning solution, so I would flush the system while it is apart. > PS. if you are in agreement with using this stuff what brand do you recommend. I have always liked and trusted Prestone products. But my preference could be swayed easily. Walt Yahoo!
