Flushing crude out of engine with the radiator off? 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be TotallyRad on  Wed Jul 28 15:26 CST 2010 [RELATED]



So.. I have removed my radiator for repair or replacement now.

When I drained it, it was apperent it hadn't been drained or flushed in ages. It was some very brown murky water stuff... not good.

So... I am wondering whether it is possible to attach a hose to one tube which attaches to the radiator and run water through the engine block to clear out any remaining gunk? It seems like it would be a waste to get the replacement or fixed radiator fixed and flushed, only to put it back on and have the stuff left remaining in the engine flow through it and plug up some of the regained flow channels... Am I making any sense here?

Thanks for any input or ideas on this...
