It was a great Memorial day drive with the Mach 1 this weekend, beautiful So. Cal weather in Ventura. Then the radiator decided to blow a hole in itself.
I'm going to replace it with a Champion CC381 3 core, add an expansion tank and of course change the hoses and Tstat.
Here is my question:
I want to flush the cooling passages before installing the new radiator. I'm anticipating that I will find all kinds of junk coming out. I'm not wanting to pull the engine.
Thanks for your help

- Should I pull the freeze plugs?
- Should I just take out the pipe plugs?
- Is there a chemical that I should use?
- What is the max pressure to use when flushing?
- Anything special that I should do with the WP?
Thanks for your help
