Radiator Gunk Well today i think i gave my formula the first flush of its life. I washed out the reservior with a hose and this muddy lookin green **** came out. The radiator wouldnt drain all the way so i put a hose in it and it also blew out a **** load of the muddy lookin stuff. Well my car has been runnin hot and losing power and sputtering...maybe this is why its happening? Im puttin some water wetter in it right now and fillin it with pink, Ill let you know what happens.

yea what really sucks is after all that work i only put the cap on vented and it blew off. While i was hosing off the coolant all of a sudden the engine shut off and i havent been able to start it for about 4 and a half hours now.

Oh please. Buy and install a 5 dollar flush kit, and backflush well. Then use HD rad cleaner, then flush again through the flush kit.
No need to take the WP off... and you ought to know better than to wet down the front of an LT1, especially with the non-vented opti.

I agree with the last post. Get a flush kit install it, and remove thermostat and put back together. Then flush your heart out.
If you really want to flush even more, then remove the knock sensor on the block

Does the 94 formulas have a vented opti? Cause im trying to decide what the hell the problem is...im almost positive its the opti. I've givin it enough time to dry out. I think im just gonna break down and buy some msd wires, blaster cap, and opti.
