I was thinking the same. Here's no rust or anything so I think just a flush to remove fluid

Not to clean or anything.

I did the block plug (old o-ring fell apart when I removed so I was happy to have remembered to buy another) already and the only old coolant should be in the heater core really. I'm going to hook up a hose to flush that out separately.

Then dump some garden hose water in with the block plug out and go 50/50 g13 and distilled water.

        I get that. If you're going to do the cams you may as well do the intake ports though.  -  GreenMachine  2016-11-28 14:55:38 (447 views)

  - You may have a more serious problem....the heater should be processing any water going through it. - JunkerAvant 2016-11-27 07:52:10 (514 views)
    - Yeah, that's my worry too. - grillage 2016-11-27 10:10:44 (431 views)
      - Just flushed the heater core - no leaking inside and no blockage at all - grillage 2016-11-27 11:45:04 (490 views)
  - Are you planning to tighten the head bolts again since you removed the intake? - Mike Atkisson 2016-11-27 00:30:45 (523 views)
