why? it does not take much pressure to blow the thing apart. you would do better using a garden hose and reverse flush your system with a t-fitting from walmart or any auto parts store


if the heater core is pluged just replace it. they are super cheap for our cars and are super easy to do (look in the tech articals) really is a 1/2 hour job start to finish.



just trying to save you the trouble

wait a miniute...i was just reading on Irozone about how it takes at least 3-6 hours, if not a whole day to change the heater core.....

In fact, someone else said it was routine maintenance to blow out the heater core...whats the deal?
