Re: rad flush questions

Won't hurt anything to drive it 20' or even a little farther.
Just draining and refilling the radiator is not considered "flushing" the cooling system.
The pros use a machine.
You can buy chemical "radiator flush" from your parts store. This works ok just follow the directions on the can.
