Radiator flushing video (1 Viewer)

[ariff]

After reading the many threads on this site about how to flush your radiator, heater cores and block I thought I'd make a quick video to help others get started on flushing theirs.. This is how I decided to do it.. Not saying it is the best way but it worked for me and hopefully others..

What pump do you use to flush it ?

I had a old sump pump I used to push the distilled water through the cooling system. I just filled up my 10 gal shop vac bucket with the water sat the pump in there and turned it on..

What hp or pressure rating did you run it at ? What you did looks like a good idea but I just don't want to pump with toomuch pressure such that I blow out coolant system components. Any info would help.

I believe it is a 1/3 hp pump.. I had a hose valve (Unusual Ideas Design Garden Hose Valve Charming Decoration Garden Hose Valve View In Full Size - The Gardens)connected to the pump so I could adjust the flow to what seemed like a good flow and not over powering. You'll have to decide what you are comfortable with. I think I had the valve half way open or so.. Should have documented that part as well..
