How to flush cooling system? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #75334 3 posts Started by NWCelica
Just installed a Godspeed radiator and forgot to flush it before hand. Car is overheating and don't want to ruin a new engine I need to know how to flush the system to remove any junk that might have been left inside from mfg. Nice radiator but the oem fans don't fit and the ones that came with it are junk.
Thanks

well I drained mine and then I filled it with water, ran it in park for a few minutes, turned it off and let it sit for a few, and drained it again. I did that until it was pure water coming back out. You can also buy a flush kit at some stores like auto zone or advanced auto parts

if need be you can ziptie or get a universal fan mounting kit from autozone for your oem fans. After u changed radiators did u let it run with the cap off while fluid was in the new radiator to burp the system? basicly let it run till no more air bubbles are comming out the radiator.
