Re: Flushed the 350 today (C3 - 81)
:eek:
I'm assuming it didn't look like that underneath the radiator cap, YES/NO?
If not, how does it get that nasty? Are water passages completely blocked? If so, what kind of "hot spots" does that produce throughout the engine?
I did a "flush & fill" about a year ago and nothing anywhere near that nasty came out of mine, but does that mean that the entire passageway system is clean :confused:

Re: Flushed the 350 today (jerryp58)
The car has been sitting for 3 years but has always had coolant/water in it.
I removed the radiator & engine about 8 months ago. Coolant colour was'nt to bad. There was alot of crud in the intake manifold. Hopefully everything is still ok inside. I will be installing the 350 so i can get the car licensed and pull it back out and install the BB. One should have the 350 stripped and cleaned after.
