Default Re: Cleaning out crud in water jackets

I think a vacuum cleaner would only remove the stuff the speedometer cable would knock loose and may not remove crud in some hard to access areas. I went to the local farm and home store similar to Home Depot and found a rubber plug that is normally used to pressure test PVC sewer piping in new construction. It only cost about $3. I tried it and it seems to hold water without leakage. I think it would work OK. Thanks to all that responded. After soaking with Evaporust or CLR I plan to use a Gano filter in the water outlet hose. I sure don't want to get my newly recored radiator plugged up.
