flust t for a v6

hey fellas i have a 92 rs 3.1 v6 iam starting to go throught my cooling system. summer is coming soon here in the sunny state of florida.
i got a few days off next week and i was gonna clean and flush my coolant system before summer gets here.

so i already had the the flush and fill kit .
the one with the diffrent size tees.

i was wondering where did any of the 92 guys installed there tees
for flushing the cooling systems !
ididnt wanna bother the heater core hoses b/c there new and there two diffrent sizes ?
iam going to be changing the t stat bc my car is running hotter
than it used to before . my cat clogged so the but on a new racing one

so should i change a few sensors too !
i was gonna change the follwing sensors

My coolant is sick and I was wanting to get one of those Prestone flush kits too, but had many of the same questions. I'll keep watching this thread *subscribed.

Re: flust t for a v6

IIRC, there's generally supposed to be one each in the upper and lower radiator hoses, but you don't NEED the kit. Leave the radiator cap off, open the drain plug, and keep running water into the radiator until only water comes out of the drain plug. Run the heater on High as well when you do this to flush that as well. BTW, you do know that the engine has to be running when you do this, right?

:edit: There's also an additive for the radiator that will help get all of that crap out of the system. I'd put it in the radiator and then drive for about a week to make sure the stuff gets cleaned up real nice before flushing it out.
