I'm about to flush the cooling system in the HQ (202), and will then have the radiator and heater unit re-cored, and will replace all hoses, thermo, and possibly the water pump.
I was just going to drain the radiator, fill with water, run the car, stop the car, drain, fill, run, stop, drain, fill, run, stop, etc, over and over until what was coming out was clean.
However... I vaguely recall someone here once saying you could put a hose directly onto one of the heater pipes on the manifold, and just run the engine for a bit with the hose on full bore. How is this best done? Any risks?
Finally, would it achieve anything that a half-dozen fill/run/empty flushes would not do?
Appreciate any thoughts,
Jason.

Put a good cleaner in for the first flush to loosen rust and gunk,if you connect to inlet manifold it will get a good blast through the manifold,at the rear near starter motor on block is a 9/16 plug if you can get this out and aim hose in this hole it wi
