Re: new 92 rs need help

easy but messy...take t-stat out and put housing back on. open drain **** on radiator, take off rad cap and stick garden hose in it while running. catch the old coolant in a bucket under the drain **** and flush till clean water comes out. There are some chemicals you can buy to stick in the radiator to aid in flushing. Once clean install new t-stat and close drain **** and fill with fresh new coolant.
