ok i wont use it. but the radiator seems really dirty inside. like brownish. is it hard to do a radiator flush?

radiator flush is easy buy the kit follow ther instructions and you will be fine


a freeze plug are the plugs on the side of the block so if the water in your block freezes it will pop the plug instead of cracking the block

oh i see ya i'll check those. but what do you guys think, if i pour water in the radiator and it starts driping near the back of the engine before i start the engine, does that mean its probalby a hose and not the head gasket?

Ok I have had this happen. Check those heater core pipes and the little steel line that runs from the front to back of the block. It is about 1" or so below the valve cover seal line if I remember correctly. If you park it outside and your coolent mixture is not correct. Presto ICE. I was lucky it was the rubber hose piece at the back of this tube. Good luck.

What about at night? Mine did it over night. Sucked cause I was getting ready to head to work and the whole damn thing was jacked. It took me a little bit to find it I thought I screwed my block. But just the rubber hose. It was all dried and hard and could not flex.
