nolander001 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I have a l28 thats been sitting for awhile and I took the water pump off and noticed that the coolant passages are pretty rusty. It doesn't look bad enough to block flow or anything but it will be turbocharger(stock for now) and I want it to have its max cooling potential. Anyone know how i can clean the passages without getting the block dipped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolander001 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Is this something I can just take to them with the engine in the car or should I just take them my engine outside of it lol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's s basic thing. Most places that change oil I'll flush your radiator. You can always flush it your self with CLR. In you have a water pump, pool pump, or a fish tank pump you can hook it up and let it run with CLR. It's also so good way to clean your heater core at home.

Tony D Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I would specifically go to a radiator shop.My local one usually does this in conjunction with a radiator change, where they also do a water pump and block flush. It's a strong chemical, with a neutralizer afterwards that takes out sediment and scale by a reverse flush from a special machine. I personally would not have it done on the Spee-D-Lube or Oil Can Henry's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
