The flush before that went in was the first I did on the car. The stuff that came out had quite a bit more crap. That flush has the knock sensors pulled (amazing amount of crap left in the block that draining didn't remove). I took a hose and sprayed in the sensor holes, more crap came out. Then filled with straight water, burped, warmed to 195 and reflushed. The payoff shows in the pic. I just pulled the coolant (6 months old) out to put gashets in the w/p. It looked like new. |

Kinda hard to capture and carry 40 gallons of water into the house.... that it typically takes me to flush the system. The coolant's out, this is mostly rusty water with a trace of Prestone. |

The capturing is no problem, Snag a $10 kiddy pool at China-Mart and slide it under the car -- problem solved.
I totally agree with the carrying into the house issue. |
