Thanks for the informative video on flushing cooling systems. Older cars need this type of TLC more often. Much appreciated for the advice.
Welcome
@2:24 all around the engine bay 😮
What I meant is that I took various measurements around the engine for temperature to see where I was having issues. I just set the wrong way in the video.
Great video.
Thanks dude my the car I just bought has this issue and I was looking for advice on what I could try to do to help it. This is exactly what I was looking for I was hoping I could mabay flush it with something that would remove the buildup of gunk as it is really bad and I need to do something.
So I really Appreciate the time taken out from your day to show me that this is possible and will take time and what steps to take to get it done.
You’re very welcome. I’m glad I could help. Hopefully you can clean out your system using this method.
That honda is all aluminum. as far as I know the only thing steel that could cause rust on that engine is the core plugs
Correct that’s where the rust started
amnd the sleeves??
Pump impeller
What if you have one rusted so bad it ate through the freeze plugs?? How bout Thermocure?? Also, what about the heater core??
If it got to the stage where freeze plugs were rotted out, I would think the engine would be pretty bad and you may want to consider replacing it. If that wasn’t an option, I would say use whatever sort of cleaner that can be the least intrusive in the system, but you would definitely probably have to replace heater core, plugs, and all things associated with the cooling system to give it a fair chance. That may be a little bit too much, depending on the vehicle.
@@TheEnthusiastMechanic thanks for the advice.
Welcome
Is it better flushing with or without thermostat ?
It’s easier with the thermostat out it flows better and gets more impurities out that the might get trapped at the thermostat.
will that be a permanent solution or will the rust come back on the long run?
If cleaned out and serviced regularly it should be fine but this vehicle I told the customer to get the system flushed a bit more often than what the manufacturer calls for to be preventative as a measure
i think there isa chemical you had and no more rust , i have hear Clen water (...)or similar, i have to check it
Anyone use CLR?
So I have done that in the past, but you gotta be really careful with aluminum and CLR apparently it can eat it away. You have to dilute it down a little bit or not leave it in there very long if you don’t dilute it and make sure you really rinse it thoroughly.
@@TheEnthusiastMechanic So CLR would work on the older GM 5.7 V8's?
👍🏻
Turn the volume up a little bit can not hear you.
The microphone was broken when I found this video
Ok , I would look at it again.
Where is your shop located ?
We’re in Illinois
I am to i was gonnasee if maybe i can get some tips i have pretty bad corrosion from prevuos owner using water i replaced everything in the cooling system including head gasket everything besides heater core because i know thats good so im stuck on wat to do because i still over heat
@@dckiller1129 you can try using some sort of cleaner and if that doesn’t work, the block could just be junk if it has too much rust corrosion
Yea its pretty bad i just wanna flush it tge best i can i have a 97 jeep grand cherokee 5.2 i do have electrolisis no matter how many times i repkaced something
@@dckiller1129 you could try running extra ground cable for the engine that’ll possibly help with the electrolysis
Guys.
