The basic idea is water in at the top, water out at the bottom, opening all
possible valves inbetween.  If you have auxilliary radiators and such in the
mix just remove them from the block "circuit" and flush them seperately.

seems like more effort than it is worth.  if you are boiling over try running
more water than coolant (only applicable to summer months!).  Either that or
Redline water wetter maybe?  Heck I'd even go to a bigger radiator before
running that stuff from the stories I've heard.

ahh totally different issue.  yes, nasty chemicals might open holes that were
otherwise not there before!
