Default Question about LT1 Coolant Flush?
Sounds like the best route to clean the cooling system is to remove some kind of plugs on the engine ( to get sludge out ) ? Where are these located, are they used for sensors and can they be reused once removed? Pictures would be nice.

That would be the knock sensors. They are cheap so I am going to replace them both when I flush the coolant.

I thought the knock module was the lower sensitivity for an LT4, not the knock sensors.
